2                      Opinion of the Court                21-14222

Before WILSON, JILL PRYOR, and BRANCH, 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. Bascomb, 451 F.3d
1292, 1297 (11th Cir. 2006) (appeal waiver “cannot be vitiated or
altered by comments the court makes during sentencing”); 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).
