BY THE COURT:

      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
              Case: 17-12019     Date Filed: 01/26/2018    Page: 2 of 2

1292, 1297 (11th Cir. 2006) (appeal waiver “cannot be vitiated or altered by

comments the court makes during sentencing”); United States v. Rubbo, 396 F.3d
1330, 1334 (11th Cir. 2005) (“Plea bargains . . . are like contracts and should be

interpreted in accord with what the parties intended.”).
