       2                     Opinion of the Court               23-13241

                           ____________________

       Before JORDAN, GRANT, 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, 1345, 1350–51 (11th Cir.
       1993) (sentence appeal waivers are enforceable if made knowingly
       and voluntarily); United States v. Boyd, 975 F.3d 1185, 1192 (11th
       Cir. 2020) (“touchstone” for assessing whether a sentence appeal
       waiver was made knowingly and voluntarily is whether it was
       clearly conveyed to the defendant that he was giving up his right
       to appeal under most circumstances).
