UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Petitioner-Appellee,
versus
JEROME LAMAR PITTS,
a.k.a. Jeron Pitts,
Defendant-Appellant.
________________________
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida
________________________
(June 22, 2021)
Before WILSON, JORDAN, and GRANT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Jerome Pitts appeals his sentence of 108 months’ imprisonment for
knowingly receiving child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(2)
USCA11 Case: 19-13996 Date Filed: 06/22/2021 Page: 2 of 2
and (b)(1). The government moves to dismiss the appeal, arguing that Pitts’s 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 waiver’s exceptions, the government’s 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).
