Minero-Regalado contends that he received ineffective assistance of counsel.
This contention is foreclosed because the record reflects that the district court did
not err in concluding that his motion is barred by a valid waiver of the right to
collaterally attack his conviction and sentence. See Washington v. Lampert, 422
F.3d 864, 869 (9th Cir. 2005); see also White v. Klitzkie, 281 F.3d 920, 922 (9th
Cir. 2002) (this court may affirm the district court on any ground supported by the
record even if that issue was not included in the certificate of appealability).
AFFIRMED.
