Opinion:
BY THE COURT:
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); Williams v. United States, 396 F.3d 1340, 1342 (11th Cir. 2005) (defendant cannot avoid application of an appeal waiver by recasting a sentencing challenge as an ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim).
