2                      Opinion of the Court                 22-11273

Before JORDAN, BRANCH, and BRASHER, 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. Boyd, 975 F.3d 1185, 1192 (11th Cir. 2020) (stat-
ing that the “touchstone” for assessing whether an appeal waiver
was made knowingly and voluntarily is whether the court clearly
conveyed to the defendant that he was giving up his right to ap-
peal under most circumstances);United States v. Bushert, 997 F.2d
1343, 1350-51 (11th Cir. 1993) (stating that a sentence appeal waiver
will be enforced if it was made knowingly and voluntarily).
