6 later decisions quote this exact passage“Defendant has not alleged that he did not knowingly and voluntarily enter into the agreement in which he waived his right to appeal. Moreover, this agreement is not illusory; the defendant received sufficient consideration for giving up the right to appeal when the state agreed to delete an aggravated felony specification, which would have had a significant effect on defendant's sentencing. As a result, defendant is not relieved from the consequences of his voluntary, deliberate choice to enter into a settlement agreement. In other words, `a deal is a deal.'”
