                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Middle District of Georgia
                             __________________

                                (April 23, 2013)

Before TJOFLAT, MARCUS and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      The Government=s motion to dismiss this appeal pursuant to the appeal waiver

in Brooks’s plea agreement is GRANTED, in part, with respect to Brooks’s

sentencing-related claims. See United States v. Johnson, 541 F.3d 1064, 1066-69

(11th Cir. 2008) (dismissing appeal when appeal waiver in plea agreement was
               Case: 11-15646     Date Filed: 04/23/2013    Page: 2 of 2

knowingly and voluntarily made). Brooks’s conviction and sentence are

summarily AFFIRMED, in part, to the extent that he challenges the government’s

failure to move the district court to reduce his sentence, as he has not argued that the

government did so based on an unconstitutional motive. United States v. Barner,

572 F.3d 1239, 1249 (11th Cir. 2009); United States v. Brewer, 199 F.3d 1283, 1286

(11th Cir. 2000) (summarily affirming where the defendant’s contentions were

meritless).
