       2                       Opinion of the Court                  22-10172

       Before WILSON, JORDAN, and LAGOA, 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) (sen-
       tence appeal waiver will be enforced if it was made knowingly and
       voluntarily); United States v. Boyd, 975 F.3d 1185, 1192 (11th Cir.
       2020) (sentence appeal waiver will be enforced where “it was
       clearly conveyed to the defendant that he was giving up his right
       to appeal under most circumstances” (quotation marks and brackets
       omitted)); United States v. Howle, 166 F.3d 1166, 1169 (11th Cir.
       1999) (a sentence appeal waiver waives difficult and debatable legal
       issues, including even blatant error).
