2                      Opinion of the Court               22-10964

Before LUCK, LAGOA, and BLACK, 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. Bascomb, 451 F.3d 1292, 1297 (11th Cir. 2006)
(“[A]s long as an appeal waiver is voluntarily and knowingly en-
tered into as part of a valid plea agreement, and that agreement is
accepted by the court, the waiver is enforceable. It cannot be viti-
ated or altered by comments the court makes during sentencing.”);
United States v. Bushert, 997 F.2d 1343, 1351 (11th Cir. 1993) (ex-
plaining a sentence appeal waiver will be enforced if it was made
knowingly and voluntarily).
