No. 10-10186

MEMORANDUM*
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona
David G. Campbell, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted December 19, 2011**
Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and McKEOWN, Circuit Judges.
Julio Cesar Feliciano, Jr. appeals from his jury-trial convictions for armed
bank robbery and use of a firearm. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291,
and we affirm.
Feliciano contends that his counsel rendered ineffective assistance because

he admitted Feliciano’s guilt to a count that exposed him to a possible life
sentence. We decline to review this claim on direct appeal because the record is
insufficiently developed and the legal representation was not so inadequate that it
obviously denied Feliciano his Sixth Amendment right to counsel. See United
States v. Daychild, 357 F.3d 1082, 1095 (9th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we affirm
the district court’s judgment without prejudice to Feliciano raising this issue in a
collateral attack on the conviction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255.
AFFIRMED.
