                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:13-CV-1177


Before JONES, BENAVIDES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Maurice Hartfield, Texas prisoner # 1692378, appeals the denial of his
28 U.S.C. § 2254 application challenging his convictions for intoxication
assault and reckless aggravated assault. The district court granted Hartfield
a certificate of appealability (COA) on his double jeopardy claim.



       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

                                  No. 14-50553

      We review the district court’s conclusions of law de novo.          Ortiz v.
Quarterman, 

, 496 (5th Cir. 2007). Section 2254 relief may not be
granted on a claim that was adjudicated on the merits by a state court “unless
the adjudication of the claim . . . resulted in a decision that was contrary to, or
involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law, as
determined by the Supreme Court of the United States.” § 2254(d)(1).
      It was undisputed that Hartfield’s convictions for intoxication assault
and reckless aggravated assault violated the Double Jeopardy Clause.             A
defendant may raise a double jeopardy claim in a collateral attack if the face
of the indictment or record establishes the double jeopardy violation. United
States v. Broce, 

, 575-76 (1989).        The state court, however,
concluded that Hartfield waived collateral review of his double jeopardy claim
since he was aware of the double jeopardy violation when he pleaded guilty.
The district court reasoned that the decision in Ricketts v. Adamson, 

, 8 (1987), that a defendant can waive a double jeopardy claim by pretrial
agreement provided plausible support for the state court’s decision. Because
“fairminded jurists could disagree on the correctness of the state court’s
decision,” the district court did not err in concluding that the state court’s
decision was not contrary to or an unreasonable application of clearly
established federal law. Harrington v. Richter, 

, 786 (2011)
(internal quotation marks and citation omitted).
      Hartfield lists as an issue in his brief that counsel were ineffective for
allowing him to plead guilty to an indictment with a double jeopardy violation.
He has not moved for a COA on this claim or moved to expand the grant of a
COA. Therefore, we lack jurisdiction to consider this claim. See Lewis v.
Thaler, 

, 787 (5th Cir. 2012) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)).
      The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
