2 Opinion of the Court 24-10523

Before LUCK, BRASHER, and ABUDU, 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) (sen- tence appeal waiver will be enforced if it was made knowingly and voluntarily); United States v. Boyd, 975 F.3d 1185, 1191-92 (11th Cir. 2020) (sentence appeal waiver will be enforced where it conveys to the defendant he is giving up his right to appeal under most circum- stances); United States v. Weaver, 275 F.3d 1320, 1323-24, 1333 (11th Cir. 2001) (an appeal waiver is enforceable when the waiver was referenced during the plea colloquy and the defendant confirmed that he understood the provision and had entered into it freely and voluntarily); United States v. Gonzalez-Mercado, 808 F.2d 796, 800 n.8 (11th Cir. 1987) (there is a strong presumption that the defendant’s statements during a plea colloquy are true).
