Defendant-Appellant. ____________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida D.C. Docket No. 0:24-cr-60001-DSL-1 ____________________

Before JORDAN, LUCK, and KIDD, 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, 1345, 1350–51 (11th Cir. USCA11 Case: 24-13954 Document: 48-1 Date Filed: 09/19/2025 Page: 2 of 2

2 Opinion of the Court 24-13954 1993) (holding that we will enforce sentence appeal waivers if they are made “knowingly and voluntarily”); United States v. Boyd, 975 F.3d 1185, 1192 (11th Cir. 2020) (noting that the “touchstone” for assessing if a sentence appeal waiver was made knowingly and voluntarily is whether it was clearly conveyed to the defendant that he was giving up his right to appeal under most circumstances); United States v. Weaver, 275 F.3d 1320, 1333 (11th Cir. 2001) (con- cluding that an appeal waiver was enforceable where the court ref- erenced the waiver provision during the plea colloquy and the de- fendant confirmed that he understood the waiver provision and en- tered into it voluntarily and freely).
