UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. German MILLON, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 06-5039.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: April 23, 2008.
    Decided: May 2, 2008.
    Tolly A. Kennon, III, Kennon & Associates, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellant. Amy Elizabeth Ray, Office of the United States Attorney, Asheville, North Carolina, for Appellee.
    Before WILLIAMS, Chief Judge, and NIEMEYER and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.
    Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
   PER CURIAM:

German Millón appeals his conviction and seventy-month sentence imposed after he pled guilty, pursuant to a plea agreement, to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana and cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 846 (2000). On appeal, Mil-Ion states only a single claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. The Government has moved to dismiss Millon’s appeal based upon a waiver of appellate rights in his plea agreement.

We deny the Government’s motion to dismiss. We have reviewed Millon’s claim and conclude that it does not “conclusively appear! ]” on the record that counsel was ineffective. United States v. Richardson, 195 F.3d 192, 198 (4th Cir.1999) (internal quotation marks omitted). Millón may raise his ineffective assistance claim in proceedings under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We therefore affirm Millon’s conviction and sentence. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
