### January 27, 2009 Elisabeth A. Shumaker Clerk of Court UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff

! Appellee, v. GUILLERMO J. ARAIZA, Defendant

! Appellant. No. 08-4135 (D.C. No. 2:07-CR-00707-TS-1) (D. Utah)

ORDER AND JUDGMENT *
Before TACHA , MURPHY , and McCONNELL , Circuit Judges.
Defendant Guillermo J. Araiza pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. Pursuant to the plea agreement, he waived his right to appeal his conviction or his sentence, provided his sentence was within the statutory maximum authorized by law and within the advisory sentencing guideline determined by the district court to apply. Defendant’s Case: 08-4135 Document: 01017592885 Date Filed: 01/27/2009 Page: 1-2- sentence was below the statutory maximum and within the advisory guideline range. Nevertheless, defendant filed a notice of appeal. The government filed a motion to enforce the plea agreement pursuant to United States v. Hahn , 359 F.3d 1315 (10th Cir. 2004) (en banc) (per curiam). In response, defendant concedes through counsel that the issue he seeks to present on appeal is within the scope of his appeal waiver and that he knowingly and voluntarily waived his appellate rights. He further concedes that, subject to his right to assert an issue of ineffective assistance of counsel in a subsequent 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion, enforcing the waiver would not result in a miscarriage of justice. Thus, defendant concedes that there are no valid grounds to object to the government’s motion to enforce the appeal waiver. See Hahn , 359 F.3d at 1325. Defendant does ask that he be allowed to pursue a § 2255 claim that his counsel was constitutionally ineffective in connection with the negotiation of the appeal waiver. Defendant correctly notes that a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel in connection with the negotiation of the plea agreement must ordinarily be raised in a collateral § 2255 proceeding, not on direct appeal. See United States v. Porter, 405 F.3d 1136, 1144 (10th Cir. 2005); see also United States v. Cockerham , 237 F.3d 1179, 1184 (10th Cir. 2001) (“[A] claim of ineffective assistance of counsel in connection with the negotiation of a plea agreement cannot be barred by the agreement itself.”) (alteration and quotation omitted). Case: 08-4135 Document: 01017592885 Date Filed: 01/27/2009 Page: 2-3- We have reviewed the record and defendant’s response, and we agree that the appeal falls within the scope of the appeal waiver, that defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived his appellate rights, and that enforcing the waiver would not result in a miscarriage of justice. Accordingly, we GRANT the motion to enforce the appeal waiver, without prejudice to defendant’s right to file a § 2255 motion asserting ineffective assistance of counsel in connection with the negotiation of his appeal waiver, and we DISMISS the appeal.
