       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not

                                 No. 14-10668

claims that his appellate waiver is unenforceable, the record shows that it was
knowing and voluntary, because he knew that he had the right to appeal and
that he was giving up that right by entering into the plea agreement. See
United States v. Bond, 414 F.3d 542, 544 (5th Cir. 2005); United States v. Por-
tillo, 18 F.3d 290, 292-93 (5th Cir. 1994); see also United States v. Jacobs, 635
F.3d 778, 781 (5th Cir. 2011). Additionally, the waiver, which the government
invokes, precludes consideration of Colorado Perez’s claim concerning his sen-
tence. Accordingly, the government’s motion to dismiss is GRANTED, and the
appeal is DISMISSED.
