2 Opinion of the Court 23-13536

Before BRANCH, LUCK, and ANDERSON, 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, 1351 (11th Cir. 1993) (holding 

that a sentence appeal waiver will be enforced if it was made knowingly and voluntarily); United States v. Boyd, 975 F.3d 1185, 1192 

(11th Cir. 2020) (providing that the touchstone for assessing 

whether an appeal waiver was knowing and voluntary is whether 

it was clearly conveyed to the defendant that he was giving up his 

right to appeal under most circumstances).
