      The Government’s motion to dismiss this appeal pursuant to the appeal

waiver in Spivey’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. Grinard-Henry, 399

F.3d 1294, 1296 (11th Cir. 2005) (waiver of the right to appeal includes waiver of

the right to appeal difficult or debatable legal issues or even blatant error). The

government’s motion to stay the briefing schedule is DENIED AS MOOT.
