       2                      Opinion of the Court                  23-11453

       Before JILL PRYOR, 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) (sen-
       tence appeal waiver will be enforced if it was made knowingly and
       voluntarily); United States v. Boyd, 975 F.3d 1185, 1192 (11th Cir.
       2020) (noting that the touchstone for assessing if a sentence appeal
       waiver was made knowingly and voluntarily is whether it was
       clearly conveyed to the defendant that he was giving up his right
       to appeal under most circumstances); 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).
