Does a defendant have to waive his right to directly appeal his conviction and sentence?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Brewer, 132 F.3d 40 (9th Cir. 1997):

Brewer also contends that even if he did waive his right to directly appeal his conviction and sentence, his ineffective assistance of counsel claims are not waived. This contention lacks merit because the waiver of the right to appeal applies to ineffective assistance of counsel claims raised on direct appeal. See United States v. Baramdyka, 95 F.3d 840, 844 (9th Cir.1996) (stating that the waiver of the right to appeal does not include claims of ineffective assistance of counsel brought under 28 U.S.C. 2255).
