    DAVID NEAL CLARY,

                Defendant!Appellant.


                            ORDER AND JUDGMENT *


Before LUCERO, MURPHY, and HARTZ, Circuit Judges.



         Pursuant to a plea agreement, David Neal Clary pleaded guilty to being a

felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The

government has moved to enforce the plea agreement’s appeal waiver. See

United States v. Hahn, 
359 F.3d 1315
, 1325 (10th Cir. 2004) (en banc) (per

curiam). In response, Mr. Clary does not oppose the motion because he



*
      This panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not
materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2);
10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral
argument. This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the
doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited,
however, for its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and
10th Cir. R. 32.1.
“concedes that, under the standard announced in . . . Hahn . . ., the plea

agreement, with its waiver of his right to appeal, is enforceable.” Aplt. Resp. at

1. Although we are not required to address a Hahn factor that the defendant does

not contest, see United States v. Porter, 
405 F.3d 1136
, 1143 (10th Cir. 2005), we

have independently confirmed that this appeal is within the scope of Mr. Clary’s

appellate waiver, that Mr. Clary knowingly and voluntarily waived his appellate

rights, and that enforcing the waiver would not result in a miscarriage of justice.

See 
Hahn, 359 F.3d at 1325
. To the extent that Mr. Clary wishes to challenge

counsel’s effectiveness, such issues generally should be raised in a motion under

28 U.S.C. § 2255. See 
Porter, 405 F.3d at 1144
.

      The motion to enforce the plea agreement is GRANTED and this appeal is

DISMISSED.
