2 Opinion of the Court 23-13635

Before JORDAN, ROSENBAUM, and GRANT, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: The Government’s motion to dismiss this appeal pursuant to the appeal waiver in Appellant’s plea agreement is GRANTED. See United States v. Bushert, 997 F.2d 1343, 1350–51 (11th Cir. 1993) (sentence appeal waiver will be enforced if it was made knowingly and voluntarily); United States v. Howle, 166 F.3d 1166, 1169 (11th Cir. 1999) (waiver of the right to appeal includes waiver of the right to appeal difficult or debatable legal issues or even blatant error); United States v. Boyd, 975 F.3d 1185, 1192 (11th Cir. 2020) (sentence appeal waiver was enforceable because the district court “effec- tively conveyed to [the defendant] that he was giving up his right to appeal his sentence under most circumstances”).
