PER CURIAM:
                 Case: 17-15567    Date Filed: 01/17/2019   Page: 2 of 2

          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).
