ORDER AND JUDGMENT 

Before MOORE and TACHA, Circuit Judges, and BRIMMER, Chief Judge.* 

*Honorable Clarence A. Brimmer, Chief Judge, United States 

District Court for the District of Wyoming, sitting by 

designation. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.8. 

submitted without oral argument. 

The cause is therefore ordered 

Ruth Ann Hembree appeals from the district court's denial of 

her 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate her sentence. 

Hembree filed a timely notice of appeal from her conviction, 

but the appeal was voluntarily dismissed pursuant to Fed. R. App. 

P. 42. The failure of Hembree to present on direct appeal the

grounds she presently asserts for relief bars her from raising the 

matters in a § 2255 motion, unless good cause is shown. United 

States v. Khan, 835 F.2d 749 (10th Cir. 1987). Hembree has failed 

to establish or even allege good cause. As such, Hembree has 

waived her right to raise issues for the first time in a 

collateral proceeding. Id. 

Accordingly, the judgment of the United States District Court 

for the Eastern District of Oklahoma is AFFIRMED. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
