Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Edis Edgardo Guzman-Hernandez appeals his guilty plea conviction for being unlawfully present in the United States following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Guzman-Hernandez argues for the first time on appeal that his rights under Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966), were violated and that the district court violated Fed.R.Crim.P. 11 by failing to inquire whether Guzman-Hernandez was interrogated in violation of Miranda.
By pleading guilty, Guzman-Hernandez waived his argument regarding any violation of his Miranda rights. See United States v. Bell, 966 F.2d 914, 915 (5th Cir.1992). Rule 11 has no requirement that the district court inquire about possible Miranda violations.
He also argues that his counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to "hold the government to its burden of proof [regarding compliance with Miranda ] or raise the issue of admissibility to the court." The record is insufficiently developed to allow consideration at this time of Guzman-Hernandez's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; such claims generally "cannot be resolved on direct appeal when [they have] not been raised before the district court since no opportunity existed to develop the record on the merits of the allegations." United States v. Cantwell, 470 F.3d 1087, 1091 (5th Cir.2006) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).
The district court's judgment is AFFIRMED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
