       2                       Order of the Court                 22-10765

       Before JORDAN, ROSENBAUM, and JILL PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
              The Government’s motion to dismiss this appeal pursuant
       to the appeal waiver in Mr. Nguyen’s plea agreement is
       GRANTED. The appeal waiver is enforceable, and none of its ex-
       ceptions apply. 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. Bascomb,
       451 F.3d 1292, 1297 (11th Cir. 2006) (appeal waiver “cannot be viti-
       ated or altered by comments the court makes during sentencing”);
       United States v. Grinard-Henry, 399 F.3d 1294, 1296 (11th Cir.
       2005) (waiver of the right to appeal includes waiver of the right to
       appeal difficult or debatable legal issues or even blatant error).
