Before JILL PRYOR, GRANT, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: The Government’s motion to dismiss this appeal pursuant to the appeal waiver in Appellant’s plea agreement is GRANTED.

Grinard-Henry, 399 F.3d 1294, 1296 (11th Cir. 2005) (appeal waiver includes waiver of the right to appeal difficult or debatable legal issues); see also United States v. Anderson, 772 F.3d 662, 668–69 (11th Cir. 2014) (prior appellate decision binds subsequent proceedings in the same case).
