                     ____________________

           Appeal from the United States District Court
              for the Northern District of Georgia
            D.C. Docket No. 1:19-cr-00304-ELR-AJB-1
                    ____________________

Before ROSENBAUM, NEWSOM, and GRANT, 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, 1350-51 (11th Cir. 1993)
(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) (the touchstone for assessing if a sentence appeal waiver
was made knowingly and voluntarily is whether it was clearly con-
veyed to the defendant that he was giving up his right to appeal
under most circumstances).
