       2                      Opinion of the Court                  23-11874

       Before LUCK, BRASHER, and ABUDU, 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. Boyd, 975 F.3d 1185, 1192 (11th Cir.
       2020) (sentence appeal waiver will be enforced where “it was
       clearly conveyed to the defendant that he was giving up his right
       to appeal under most circumstances” (quotation marks omitted, al-
       terations adopted, emphasis in original)); 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).
