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. Weaver, 275 F.3d
1320, 1333 (11th Cir. 2001) (enforcing a sentence appeal waiver where the waiver

provision was referenced during the defendant’s Rule 11 plea colloquy and the

defendant agreed that she understood the provision and entered into it freely and

voluntarily); United States v. Grinard-Henry, 399 F.3d 1294, 1296 (11th Cir.

2005) (enforcing an appeal waiver where a magistrate judge specifically

questioned the defendant about it during the plea colloquy, adequately explained

the significance of the appeal waiver, and confirmed that the defendant understood

the full significance of the appeal waiver).
