claims that his appellate waiver is unenforceable, the record shows that it was 

knowing and voluntary, because he knew that he had the right to appeal and 

that he was giving up that right by entering into the plea agreement. See

United States v. Bond, 414 F.3d 542, 544 (5th Cir. 2005); United States v. Portillo, 18 F.3d 290, 292-93 (5th Cir. 1994); see also United States v. Jacobs, 635 

F.3d 778, 781 (5th Cir. 2011). Additionally, the waiver, which the government 

invokes, precludes consideration of Colorado Perez’s claim concerning his sentence. Accordingly, the government’s motion to dismiss is GRANTED, and the 

appeal is DISMISSED.
