       2                      Opinion of the Court                22-14262

       Before NEWSOM, GRANT, and BLACK, 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 com-
       ments 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).
