       2                     Opinion of the Court                22-11094

       Before WILSON, LUCK, and LAGOA, 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, 1351 (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 and brack-
       ets omitted)); United States v. Howle, 166 F.3d 1166, 1169 & n.5
       (11th Cir. 1999) (an appeal waiver may waive difficult or debatable
       legal issues but could be reviewable in extreme circumstances).
