containing an appeal waiver. Her appellate counsel has moved to withdraw, and has
filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that prior
counsel provided ineffective assistance during Rosenbaum’s post-plea proceedings.
While the appeal waiver does not prohibit ineffective-assistance claims, we
decline to consider such claims on direct appeal without an adequately developed
record. See United States v. Ramirez-Hernandez, 449 F.3d 824, 827 (8th Cir. 2006);
United States v. Hernandez, 281 F.3d 746, 749 (8th Cir. 2002). We have also
independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and
have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal falling outside the scope of the waiver.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment, and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
