Description
James Mabry appeals from the District Courts denial of his habeas petition in which he claimed that his counsel was ineffective for failing to file an appeal. The District Court held that Mabrys claim was barred by the waiver in his plea agreement of his right to file a collateral attack. While the issue before us--which, we believe, involves the enforceability of the waiver--may seem straightforward, there is a body of caselaw in the courts of appeals--which, curiously, focuses not on the waiver but on the importance of the right to appeal--that complicates our analysis. Ultimately, we will affirm.
