Before HALL, SILVERMAN, and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.
This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).

Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Appellant/Defendant Oscar Angulo ("Angulo") appeals the denial of his motion filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence due to ineffective assistance of counsel. We granted a certificate of appealability with respect to the issue of "whether trial or appellate counsel rendered ineffective assistance for failing to file a timely notice or otherwise prosecute appellant's direct appeal."
Angulo knowingly and voluntarily waived appeal rights in his plea agreement and during his plea colloquy. See United States v. Anglin, 215 F.3d 1064, 1067 (9th Cir.2000). Angulo's waiver precludes any ineffective assistance of counsel claim based on failure to appeal. See United States v. Martinez, 143 F.3d 1266, 1270 (9th Cir.1998).
AFFIRMED.
