Manuel Gudino-Sierra appeals from the district court’s judgment and

methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(A)(viii), and

Gudino-Sierra contends that he received ineffective assistance from his trial
counsel in relation to plea negotiations. “Claims of ineffective assistance of
counsel are generally inappropriate on direct appeal.” United States v. McKenna,
327 F.3d 830, 845 (9th Cir. 2003). Contrary to Gudino-Sierra’s contention, the
record on appeal is not sufficiently developed to evaluate the effectiveness of trial
counsel. See id.
AFFIRMED.
