   MEMORANDUM

Jessica Maritza Perez appeals the district court’s denial of her 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion challenging her guilty-plea conviction to making a place available to manufacture methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 856(a)(2). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253. Reviewing de novo, United States v. Christakis, 238 F.3d 1164, 1168 (9th Cir.2001), we affirm.

Perez contends that she received ineffective assistance of counsel because her attorney failed to advise her of the deportation consequences of her plea. Because deportation consequences are a collateral consequence of pleading guilty, United States v. Amador-Leal, 276 F.3d 511, 517 (9th Cir.) cert, denied, — U.S.-, 122 S.Ct. 1946, 152 L.Ed.2d 849 (2002), and counsel’s failure to advise on a collateral penalty does not fall below an objective standard of reasonableness, see Torrey v. Estelle, 842 F.2d 234, 237 (9th Cir.1988) (applying Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984) to habeas proceeding involving collateral consequences of plea), we conclude that the district court properly denied her motion.

AFFIRMED.
