Does an attorney have a duty to advise of the right to appeal after a guilty plea?

The following excerpt is from Marrow v. U.S., 772 F.2d 525 (9th Cir. 1985):
As might be expected, there is scant authority on this subject. The federal courts that have addressed the issue have almost uniformly rejected the proposition that an attorney has a duty in all cases to advise of the right to appeal after a guilty plea. As stated in Carey v. Leverette, 605 F.2d 745, 746 (4th Cir.) (per curiam), cert. denied, 444 U.S. 983, 100 S.Ct. 488, 62 L.Ed.2d 411 (1979):
