       2                     Opinion of the Court                23-12399

       Before WILLIAM PRYOR, Chief Judge, and JORDAN and LAGOA, Cir-
       cuit 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, 1345, 1350–51 (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 alterations omitted)); United States v. Bascomb, 451 F.3d 1292,
       1296–97 (11th Cir. 2006) (a “vigorous” dispute during sentencing
       does not preserve that issue for appeal when it does not fall under
       an exception to the appeal waiver); 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).
