Normally, you can’t appeal plea deals.

He pleaded guilty, so he can't appeal his conviction. He can, in theory, appeal the sentence, but appellate review is very limited-- he would have to show that the sentence is "unreasonable," and it's very tough to argue that a no-jail sentence for a felony is unreasonable.
