WILLIE EMMANUEL WRIGHT,

Defendant- Appellant. ____________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida D.C. Docket No. 9:23-cr-80212-DSL-1 ____________________

Before JILL PRYOR, BRANCH, and BLACK, 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, 1350-51 (11th Cir. 1993) USCA11 Case: 24-13908 Document: 53-1 Date Filed: 05/29/2026 Page: 2 of 2

2 Opinion of the Court 24-13908 (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) (noting that the “touchstone” for assessing if a sentence ap- peal 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).
