prison and three years of supervised release.

On appeal, Moore challenges the district court’s application of a six- level enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 3A1.2(b). As the government correctly posits, the appeal waiver bars this appeal because Moore knowingly and vol- untarily waived his right to appeal, and the plain language of the waiver applies. See United States v. Higgins, 739 F.3d 733, 736 (5th Cir. 2014); see also United States v. Bond, 414 F.3d 542, 544, 546 (5th Cir. 2005).

The appeal is DISMISSED.
