BRIGHT, Circuit Judge,
concurring separately.
I concur in the result that the appellant is entitled to no relief on his appeal. On the merits, Estrada-Bahena shows no violation of his constitutional rights in the imposition of his sentence.
*1072I disagree that the waiver of appeal should apply here. The appellant claims his counsel provided him ineffective assistance. While we do not decide that claim, the assertion and evidence in the file suggests that the waiver of an appeal should not apply here. In these circumstances, we should consider the appeal on its merits. However, since Estrada-Bahena cannot succeed on his appeal in any event, I concur in the result.
