What changed

The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has dismissed the appeal in United States v. Jimmy Altidor (Docket No. 25-11029) on March 18, 2026. The dismissal was granted upon the government's motion, citing an appeal waiver present in the defendant's plea agreement. The court referenced established precedent, including United States v. Bushert, United States v. Bascomb, and United States v. Grinard-Henry, to support its decision that the waiver was knowingly and voluntarily made and would be enforced.

This ruling means the defendant's appeal is terminated, and the prior district court judgment stands. For legal professionals, this case reinforces the importance of carefully reviewing plea agreements and understanding the implications of appeal waivers. There are no further actions required for regulated entities as this is a specific case outcome, not a new rule or guidance.
