Opinion

Jerome Pitts appeals his sentence of 108 months’ imprisonment for knowingly receiving child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(2) and (b)(1). The government moves to dismiss the appeal, arguing that Pittss plea agreement included a sentence appeal waiver. Because the record confirms that Pitts knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal and that this appeal does not fall under any of the waivers exceptions, the governments motion to dismiss the appeal is GRANTED. See United States v. Bushert, 997 F.2d 1343, 1350–51 (11th Cir. 1993) (sentence appeal waiver will be enforced if it was made knowingly and voluntarily).
