UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 08-4424
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
RAVON HEBRON,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland, at Baltimore. Andre M. Davis, District Judge. (1:07-
cr-00363-AMD-1)
Submitted: February 19, 2009 Decided: February 23, 2009
Before WILKINSON, DUNCAN, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.

Marc L. Resnick, Washington, D.C., for Appellant. Rod J.

Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Ravon Hebron pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to
distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine base,
in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 (2006). He was sentenced to 120
months’ imprisonment. On appeal, Hebron argues that he was
deprived of a fair trial because he entered his guilty plea
involuntarily, without proper advice from counsel, and under
coercion and duress. We affirm.
To the extent Hebron claims his guilty plea was
involuntary and the district court erred in accepting it, any
error committed during the Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 hearing is
reviewed for plain error because Hebron did not move to withdraw
his guilty plea. See United States v. Martinez,
277 F.3d 517,
524-26 (4th Cir. 2002). We have carefully reviewed the
transcript of the Rule 11 hearing and find no plain error in the
district court’s acceptance of the guilty plea. See United
States v. DeFusco,
949 F.2d 114, 119—20 (4th Cir. 1991). A
defendant’s statements at a guilty plea hearing are presumed
true. See Blackledge v. Allison,
431 U.S. 63, 73-74 (1977).
Unsupported subsequent allegations are insufficient to overcome
representations at the hearing. Id. at 74. We find no
evidence that Hebron’s plea was not knowing or voluntary. See
Unites States v. Marin,
961 F.2d 493, 496 (4th Cir. 1992).
Moreover, as there is no ineffective assistance of counsel found
2
on the face of the record, we decline to consider Hebron’s
ineffective assistance claim on direct appeal. DeFusco, 949
F.2d at 120-21.
Accordingly, we affirm Hebron’s conviction and
sentence. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
