I. INTRODUCTION

Richard Roe pleaded guilty to conspiring to possess with intent to distribute 280 grams or more of cocaine base ("crack") and five kilograms or more of cocaine. See 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 846. Based in part on the drug quantities involved, Roe was subject to a twenty-year mandatory minimum sentence. See id="p1287" href="#p1287" data-label="1287" data-citation-index="1" class="page-label">*1287id. § 841(b)(1)(A)(ii)-(iii). Pursuant to the terms of Roe's plea agreement, the government requested a sentence below the mandatory minimum. See 18 U.S.C. § 3553(e). The district court imposed a fifteen-year sentence.

Roe did not file a direct appeal; instead, he filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence. He asserted trial counsel was ineffective in failing to: (1) challenge the drug quantity at the sentencing hearing ("drug-quantity claim") and (2) file a notice of appeal as requested ("failure-to-file claim"). The district court summarily denied the drug-quantity claim, concluding Roe's guilty plea established the relevant quantity. It held an evidentiary hearing on the failure-to-file claim. Trial counsel testified Roe never told him to file an appeal because they never discussed the issue. In a post-hearing motion, Roe sought to amend his failure-to-file claim so it focused on trial counsel's failure to consult with him as to whether an appeal should be filed (the "failure-to-consult claim"). The district court rejected, on two separate grounds, Roe's failure-to-consult claim. It concluded the failure-to-consult claim was an untimely new claim that did not relate back to the failure-to-file claim set out in Roe's original § 2255 motion. In the alternative, the district court concluded the failure-to-consult claim failed on the merits.

Roe filed a notice of appeal and this court granted him a certificate of appealability to raise both the drug-quantity and failure-to-consult claims. As to the failure-to-consult claim, however, we specifically directed the parties to address whether the claim was timely (i.e., whether the claim relates back to Roe's original § 2255 motion).

Exercising jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1291 and 2253(c)(1)(B), this court affirms the order of the district court denying Roe's § 2255 motion. In so doing, we hold as follows: (1) when a criminal defendant enters a knowing and voluntary guilty plea to an indictment charging a drug conspiracy with an attendant quantity element, the defendant is subject to the enhanced penalties associated with that quantity; and (2) Roe's failure-to-consult claim does not relate back to his failure-to-file claim and is, therefore, untimely.

II. BACKGROUND

A. Underlying Criminal Proceedings

In a multi-defendant, multi-count indictment, a federal grand jury charged Roe with, inter alia, one count of conspiracy to commit the following criminal offenses: (1) "to manufacture, to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute 280 grams or more" of crack; and (2) "to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute five kilograms or more" of cocaine. See 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(A)(ii)-(iii), 846. This charge is hereinafter referred to as the "Conspiracy Count." The minimum sentence applicable to the Conspiracy Count, based exclusively on the quantity of drugs set out in the indictment, is a term of imprisonment of no less than ten years. Id. § 841(b)(1)(A)(ii)-(iii). The United States, however, filed an information under 21 U.S.C. § 851, providing notice that Roe had a prior Kansas state felony conviction for possession of cocaine. The existence of this prior felony drug conviction increased the relevant statutory mandatory minimum to twenty years' imprisonment. Id. § 841(b)(1)(A)(ii)-(iii).

Roe pleaded guilty to the Conspiracy Count pursuant to a written plea agreement. In exchange for Roe's guilty plea, the government promised, inter alia, to dismiss the remaining counts in the indictment; to not file a second information under § 851, thereby eliminating the possibility Roe would be subject to a statutory mandatory life sentence, see ibr.US_Case_Law.Schema.Case_Body:v1" id="p1288" href="#p1288" data-label="1288" data-citation-index="1" class="page-label">*1288id. § 841(b)(1)(A)(ii)-(iii) ; and to file a motion for relief from the twenty-year mandatory minimum, see 18 U.S.C. § 3553(e), should Roe provide substantial assistance in the investigation or prosecution of another individual. In exchange for these promises, Roe not only agreed to plead guilty, he also agreed to waive "any right to challenge a sentence imposed which is within the [G]uideline range determined appropriate by the court." Following a hearing, the district court concluded Roe's guilty plea was knowing and voluntary, was based only on the promises set out in the plea agreement, and was supported by a factual basis as to every element of the charged offense.1

In advance of the sentencing hearing, the Office of Probation and Pretrial Services prepared a Presentence Investigation Report ("PSR"). Based on interviews with Roe's co-conspirators, as well as the testimony of those individuals during related proceedings, the PSR concluded Roe purchased and distributed more than ten kilograms of cocaine during the course of the conspiracy.2 This quantity of cocaine resulted in a base offense level of thirty-two. U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(c)(4). The PSR increased Roe's offense level by two because he possessed a firearm during the course of the conspiracy, see id. § 2D1.1(b)(1), but decreased his offense level by three based on his acceptance of responsibility, see id. § 3E1.1(a), (b). Roe's total offense level of thirty-one, when combined with a criminal history category of V, resulted in an advisory Guidelines range of 168 to 210 months' imprisonment.3 See U.S.S.G. Sentencing Table. Pursuant to the provisions of U.S.S.G. § 5G1.1(b), however, Roe's Guidelines range was set at 240 months' imprisonment because the statutory mandatory minimum was greater than the high end of the advisory Guidelines range. In advance of the sentencing hearing, Roe's trial counsel did not object to the drug-quantity calculations set out in the PSR. Consistent with the terms of the plea agreement, the government filed a pre-sentencing motion indicating Roe had provided the prosecution with substantial assistance. See 18 U.S.C. § 3553(e), U.S.S.G. § 5K1.1. That motion asked the district *1289court to reduce Roe's otherwise applicable statutory minimum twenty-year sentence by twenty-five percent and, accordingly, impose a sentence of 180 months' imprisonment.

At the sentencing hearing, trial counsel reiterated that he had no objections to the PSR. Roe emphasizes that his trial counsel did not request a sentence lower than the 180-month sentence requested by the government.4 During his allocution, Roe asserted he had "never seen the amount of drugs that I'm charged with in this case ... but now I understand how a conspiracy works." He elaborated on this understanding: "I was involved no matter how big or small the role I played." Roe told the court that, while he meant no "disrespect," he bought the cocaine recited in the PSR (which specifically recognized Roe purchased multi-ounce quantities of cocaine at least twice a week) as part of his "drug addiction." The district court concluded the 180-month sentence recommended by the government was an appropriate one, "given the amount of drugs" Roe was "involved in distributing." The district court incorporated the PSR's findings into its sentence and sentenced Roe to 180 months' imprisonment on the Conspiracy Count. The district court then addressed Roe's appellate rights, stating as follows: "I know there was a waiver of appeal rights in the Plea Agreement. Are there any rights which would survive this particular sentence?" Trial counsel answered the district court's inquiry in the negative. Roe did not file a direct appeal.

B. Roe's § 2255 Motion

On February 23, 2015, Roe filed a timely, pro se § 2255 motion to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence. He argued, inter alia, that trial counsel was ineffective for failing "to legally object to the length of the sentence during the sentencing hearing." This prejudiced him, Roe asserted, because the "court cannot permit a defendant to be sentence[d] on charges that were not made and/or proven to be true in the criminal indictment against him." Roe specifically challenged trial counsel's failure to object to "the alleged weight of the drugs," claiming he was "negligently charged ten kilograms" even though he "only had one gram of cocaine" during his arrest. Any drug quantity that increased the statutory penalty for an offense must be proved, Roe argued. According to Roe, however, he never "legally *1290admitted" any quantity except for "one gram of cocaine."5 As a remedy, Roe asked to be resentenced without regard to the minimum mandatory. As an alternate ground for obtaining § 2255 relief, Roe asserted trial counsel was ineffective for failing to file a notice of appeal. In support of this ground for relief, Roe specifically averred he had requested that trial counsel file a notice of appeal on the day he was sentenced.6

In its response to Roe's § 2255 motion, the government argued Roe never asked trial counsel to file a notice of appeal "at the time of or near the time of his sentencing." The government relied on an affidavit provided by Roe's trial counsel. According to trial counsel, while either Roe or a member of Roe's family had asked about filing a notice of appeal, the inquiry came several months after sentencing, well after the time to appeal had expired. As to Roe's drug-quantity claim, the government argued the PSR correctly relied on sworn trial testimony to determine Roe's applicable drug quantity.

In a preliminary order denying in part Roe's § 2255 motion, the district court identified, inter alia, two claims of ineffective assistance of counsel that are relevant to the issues on appeal: the drug-quantity claim and the failure-to-file claim. As to the drug-quantity claim, the district court concluded "the precise amount of drugs" calculated in the PSR "was immaterial because the statutory minimum ... (based on [Roe's] plea to a conspiracy involving five kilograms or more of cocaine)" established his sentence. The district court then turned to the plea agreement and plea colloquy and, citing the factual basis, concluded Roe admitted to conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine. Because Roe entered this guilty plea, the court ruled that trial counsel's failure to object to the sentence was neither deficient nor prejudicial.7 In contrast to its *1291summary disposition of Roe's drug-quantity claim, the district court did not deny the failure-to-file claim outright. Instead, it ordered an evidentiary hearing, limited to whether Roe had instructed trial counsel to file an appeal. It also appointed counsel to represent Roe at the evidentiary hearing.

At the evidentiary hearing on Roe's failure-to-file claim, Roe's appointed counsel delved into matters well beyond the question whether Roe requested that trial counsel file a notice of appeal. On examination by Roe's appointed counsel, trial counsel testified the drug-quantity evidence against Roe came from a statement a co-defendant gave to the prosecution. According to trial counsel, Roe "didn't agree with" those quantities. Trial counsel elaborated that the single co-conspirator's proffer8 as to the quantities Roe handled "seemed to be way more involvement than ... [Roe] had ever talked to me about or that I could find independently." According to trial counsel, at the time of the plea, Roe was concerned about the question of drug quantity as there was only "one very small drug deal that he was part of."9 Trial counsel further testified about the prior conviction used to establish one aspect of Roe's mandatory minimum. In particular, he admitted he had not researched whether that conviction would qualify as a federal felony sufficient to enhance Roe's sentence. Nor did he research whether any *1292of Roe's other convictions would support an enhanced sentence.10 As to the matter that led to the evidentiary hearing, trial counsel testified Roe never told him to file a notice of appeal. Trial counsel conceded he never spoke to Roe about an appeal centering on the issue of drug-quantity. In fact, trial counsel never discussed with Roe "appealing at all."

Almost two years after filing his § 2255 motion, Roe filed a supplemental brief. In that supplemental brief, he argued for the first time that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to consult with him about an appeal because he demonstrated an interest in appealing and had non-frivolous appellate issues. Specifically, those asserted non-frivolous issues related to the validity of Roe's predicate conviction, the sufficiency of the plea's factual basis, the propriety of the drug-quantity calculations, and the applicability of the twenty-year mandatory minimum sentence. The supplemental brief asserted Roe suffered prejudice from trial counsel's alleged deficient performance because, with the benefit of a proper consultation about the matter, he would have filed an appeal.

In response, the government claimed Roe's supplemental brief raised new issues as to the validity of Roe's predicate conviction, the sufficiency of the factual basis, the correctness of the drug-quantity calculations, and the applicability of the twenty-year mandatory minimum sentence. The response further asserted Roe failed to seek leave to amend his original motion. As to the failure-to-file claim, the government noted trial counsel testified Roe did not ask him to file a notice of appeal.

The district court denied Roe's § 2255 motion. It found that, since Roe did not testify at the hearing but trial counsel did, the "undisputed evidence" supported the conclusion Roe "never asked counsel to file an appeal." The district court determined Roe's argument that trial counsel failed to consult with him about an appeal was a "proposed amended claim" and, therefore, Roe's supplemental brief must be treated as a motion to amend. Finally, it concluded the failure-to-consult claim was a time-barred *1293new theory. In the alternative, the district court further rejected the failure-to-consult claim on the merits.

III. ANALYSIS

A. Drug-Quantity Claim

In his § 2255 motion, Roe asserted trial counsel should have objected at sentencing to the applicability of the quantity-based, statutory mandatory minimum sentence. The district court rejected this argument on the basis, inter alia, that Roe knowingly and voluntarily admitted, in the plea agreement and at the plea colloquy, that he conspired to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine. Thus, according to the district court, trial counsel's failure to object did not amount to deficient performance.11 Roe appeals, arguing the district court erred in determining the admission in his guilty plea, standing alone, made him liable at sentencing for the quantity of cocaine set out in the indictment.

1. Jurisdiction

The government asserts this court lacks jurisdiction to review the merits of the drug-quantity claim because Roe's notice of appeal did not reference the May 23, 2016 order of the district court that resolved this claim. See Fed. R. App. P. 3(c)(1)(B) (providing that a notice of appeal shall "designate the judgment, order, or part thereof being appealed"). The government's arguments in this regard are not well-taken. As the government recognizes, Roe's notice of appeal did designate the district court's order of March 24, 2017, the order resolving the last of Roe's claims for post-conviction relief. This court has consistently held that a "notice of appeal that names the final judgment is sufficient to support review of all earlier orders that merge in the final judgment under the general rule that appeal from a final judgment supports review of all earlier interlocutory orders." Siloam Springs Hotel, LLC v. Century Surety Co. , 906 F.3d 926, 931 (10th Cir. 2018) (quotation omitted). There is simply no doubt the district court's interlocutory order of May 23, 2016, which disposed of only a portion of the claims set out in Roe's § 2255 motion, merged into the district court's final order of March 24, 2017. Thus, Roe's notice of appeal, which identified the March 24, 2017 order, vested this court with appellate jurisdiction to review the district court's ruling on Roe's drug-quantity claim.

2. Standard of Review

This court "review[s] the district court's legal rulings on a § 2255 motion de novo and its findings of fact for clear error." United States v. Orange , 447 F.3d 792, 796 (10th Cir. 2006). The district court's conclusion that trial counsel did not perform deficiently in failing to object at sentencing to the applicability of the statutory mandatory minimum rests entirely on a legal conclusion (i.e., Roe's plea of guilty to the Conspiracy Count established the applicability of the mandatory minimum). Accordingly, this court's review is de novo.

3. Analysis

Roe's drug-quantity claim can be resolved in a straightforward and limited fashion by resolving the following narrow question: Does a knowing and voluntary guilty plea to an indictment charging a *1294drug conspiracy with an attendant quantity element subject the defendant, without more, to any enhanced penalties associated with that quantity?12 Because a knowing and voluntary "guilty plea is an admission of all the elements of a formal criminal charge," McCarthy v. United States , 394 U.S. 459, 466, 89 S.Ct. 1166, 22 L.Ed.2d 418 (1969), and because a charged drug quantity that triggers the application of a mandatory minimum sentence is an element of the charged drug crime, Alleyne v. United States , 570 U.S. 99, 103, 133 S.Ct. 2151, 186 L.Ed.2d 314 (2013), the answer to this question is an unequivocal "yes."

As far as this court can tell, and Roe has not cited any precedent to the contrary, every court that has confronted the issue has stated that a knowing and voluntary guilty plea to an indictment which includes a mandatory-minimum-inducing drug-quantity element subjects a defendant to that mandatory minimum sentence. See, e.g., Davis v. United States , 817 F.3d 319, 326 (7th Cir. 2016) ; United States v. Caballero , 672 F. App'x 72, 75 (2d Cir. 2016) ; United States v. Jefferson , 791 F.3d 1013, 1016 (9th Cir. 2015) ; United States v. Etienne , 772 F.3d 907, 923 (1st Cir. 2014) ; United States v. Hinojosa , 749 F.3d 407, 412 (5th Cir. 2014) ; United States v. Bradley , 581 F. App'x 249, 253 (4th Cir. 2014) ; United States v. Heard , 561 F. App'x 873, 877 (11th Cir. 2014) ; United States v. Johnson , 732 F.3d 577, 584 (6th Cir. 2013). As these courts have noted, such a rule is entirely consistent with the line of Supreme Court cases that ultimately spawned the decision in Alleyne . See, e.g., Heard , 561 F. App'x at 876 (quoting United States v. Booker , 543 U.S. 220, 244, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), for the following proposition: "[A]ny fact ... which is necessary to support a sentence exceeding the maximum authorized by the facts established by a plea of guilty ... must be admitted by the defendant or proved to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt" (alteration omitted) ); Jefferson , 791 F.3d at 1016 (citing Blakely v. Washington , 542 U.S. 296, 303, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004), and Apprendi v. New Jersey , 530 U.S. 466, 490, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), for proposition that the admission of quantity elements in a plea agreement is sufficient to satisfy quantity element). This court has no doubt that the analysis of this issue set out in the opinions referenced above is correct and we, therefore, adopt it as our own.

In arguing for a different result, Roe asserts his admission to the quantity element in his plea agreement is not conclusive because the indictment charged a quantity related to the entire conspiracy and he is only responsible for the quantity that was within the scope of the agreement and reasonably foreseeable to him. Roe is undoubtedly correct in asserting that to prove him guilty of a conspiracy count with an attached quantity element, the government would have to prove that quantity was either handled by Roe or reasonably *1295foreseeable by Roe and within the scope of the agreement. See United States v. Dewberry , 790 F.3d 1022, 1029-31 (10th Cir. 2015). By pleading guilty, however, Roe relieved the government of its burden of proving the necessary factual predicate. See United States v. Espinal , 634 F.3d 655, 664 (2d Cir. 2011) ("When the government charges a defendant with a crime, the defendant has a constitutional right to stand mute, and the government is constitutionally required to prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt-a burden of which it is relieved only if the defendant pleads guilty in a proceeding to which stringent protections are applied. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(b) (setting forth procedural requirements for guilty pleas).").13

As a final matter, this court notes it is unnecessary to consider and analyze separately any of the various cases cited by Roe in his brief on appeal. Instead, we can state in gross why those decisions are entirely irrelevant. The first chunk of cases relied upon by Roe are irrelevant because they predate the Supreme Court's decision in Alleyne . Prior to Alleyne , facts that increased a defendant's mandatory minimum sentence were treated as sentencing factors to be resolved by the district court. See generally Harris v. United States , 536 U.S. 545, 122 S.Ct. 2406, 153 L.Ed.2d 524 (2002). It was only after the Supreme Court overruled Harris in Alleyne that such facts were recognized as elements that must be set out in an indictment *1296and proved to the jury beyond a reasonable doubt absent the entry of a knowing and voluntary guilty plea. Alleyne , 570 U.S. at 103, 133 S.Ct. 2151. The procedures employed by courts under the Harris regime simply do not speak at all to the question now before this court. The second, and final, group of cases relied on by Roe involve special provisions of the United States Sentencing Guidelines that require particularized findings regarding a defendant's attributable drug quantity for purposes of arriving at a Guidelines sentencing range. It is absolutely clear, however, that the Apprendi line of cases specifically do not apply in the context of the advisory Sentencing Guidelines. See United States v. Sullivan , 255 F.3d 1256, 1265 (10th Cir. 2001) (holding that Apprendi "does not apply to sentencing factors that increase a defendant's guideline range but do not increase the statutory maximum"); see also Alleyne , 570 U.S. at 116-17, 133 S.Ct. 2151. Accordingly, Roe has not cited a single relevant case supporting the notion that a knowing and voluntary guilty plea to a drug conspiracy charge with a concomitant quantity element is not an admission of that element.

The district court correctly ruled Roe's claim that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to the applicability of the twenty-year mandatory minimum sentence fails because his guilty plea establishes the applicability of the mandatory minimum.

B. Failure-to-Consult Claim

1. Legal Background

Pursuant to the provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2), a movant may file an amended § 2255 motion at any time during post-conviction proceedings with leave of court.14 Nevertheless, claims set out in such an amendment only relate back to the date of the original pleading, for purposes of any applicable statute of limitation, when "the amendment asserts a claim ... that arose out of the conduct, transaction, or occurrence set out-or attempted to be set out-in the original pleading." Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(c)(1)(B). There is such a statute of limitation at issue in this case. See 28 U.S.C. § 2255(f)(1) (setting out a one-year "period of limitation" applicable to any motion filed under § 2255, which runs from "the date on which the judgment of conviction becomes final"). It is uncontested that absent the applicability of the relation-back doctrine set out in Rule 15(c)(1)(B), Roe's failure-to-consult claim was filed well past the one-year limitation period set out in § 2255(f)(1).

In United States v. Espinoza-Saenz , 235 F.3d 501, 503 (10th Cir. 2000), this court examined for the first time " Rule 15(c) as it relates to a 2255 motion." We adopted a constrained view of the breadth of Rule 15(c) in the context of § 2255 proceedings:

[P]ursuant to Rule 15(c), an untimely amendment to a § 2255 motion which, by way of additional facts, clarifies or amplifies a claim or theory in the original motion may, in the District Court's discretion, relate back to the date of the original motion if and only if the original motion was timely filed and the proposed amendment does not seek to add a new claim or to insert a new theory into the case.

Id. at 505 (quotation and alterations omitted). Such an approach was necessary, according to Espinoza-Saenz , to preserve the functionality of the limitation period set out in § 2255(f). Id.

*1297The approach adopted in Espinoza-Saenz was not universally embraced in the Circuit Courts of Appeals. For example, the Ninth and Seventh Circuits held that claims set out in an amended post-conviction pleading related back to the original pleading as long as the amended claim arose from the same trial and conviction. Felix v. Mayle , 379 F.3d 612, 615 (9th Cir. 2004) ; Ellzey v. United States , 324 F.3d 521, 525-27 (7th Cir. 2003). In Mayle v. Felix , 545 U.S. 644, 653, 125 S.Ct. 2562, 162 L.Ed.2d 582 (2005), the Supreme Court granted certiorari "to resolve the conflict among Courts of Appeals on relation back of habeas petition amendments." Mayle rejected the "capacious" approach of the Ninth and Seventh Circuits in favor of the majority approach, which "allow[s] relation back only when the claims added by amendment arise from the same core facts as the timely filed claims, and not when the new claims depend upon events separate in both time and type from the originally raised episodes." Id. at 657, 125 S.Ct. 2562 (quotation omitted). In so doing, Mayle specifically held that the approach it adopted gave content and meaning to Congress's efforts, as embodied in the relevant limitation period, "to advance the finality of criminal convictions." Id. at 662, 125 S.Ct. 2562.15

Mayle also made clear that in analyzing the breadth of the operative language in Rule 15(c)(1)(B), it was necessary to keep in mind the dictates of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Proceedings for the United States District Courts (hereinafter " Section 2254 Rules"). Id. at 655-56, 661, 125 S.Ct. 2562. The Court noted the Section 2254 Rules require petitioners to "plead with particularity" the claims advanced in a habeas petition. Id. at 655-56, 125 S.Ct. 2562 (citing Section 2254 Rule 2(c) and referring to the model form available to habeas petitioners).16 Then, in analyzing whether the claims set out in the amended petition should relate back to the claims set out in the original petition, Mayle considered whether those claims would have had to be pleaded "discretely" if both brought in the original petition. Id. at 661, 125 S.Ct. 2562. If the answer to that question was "yes," relation back was likely not proper. Id. ("Each separate congeries *1298of facts supporting the grounds for relief, the Rule suggests, would delineate an 'occurrence.' "); see also Ross v. Williams , 896 F.3d 958, 964 (9th Cir. 2018) ("[F]or purposes of Civil Rule 15(c), an 'occurrence' is an aggregation of facts supporting a discrete claim for relief, and a new claim must arise from the same aggregation of facts set forth in the earlier petition in order to relate back.").

Thus, under the rule set out in Mayle , the operative question for purposes of the applicability of Rule 15(c)(1)(B) 's relation-back provision is whether " 'the original and amended [motions] state claims that are tied to a common core of operative facts.' " United States v. Trent , 884 F.3d 985, 992-93 (10th Cir. 2018) (quoting Mayle , 545 U.S. at 664, 125 S.Ct. 2562 ). In answering that question, this court must focus on whether the new claim is " 'supported by facts that differ in both time and type from those the original [petition] set forth.' " Id. at 992 (quoting Mayle , 545 U.S. at 650, 125 S.Ct. 2562 ). The answer to that question will often turn on whether the newly asserted claim would have had to be pleaded as a discrete claim under Section 2255 Rule 2(b) if it was set out in the original § 2255 motion.

2. Standard of Review

As a general matter, the purely discretionary decision whether to allow amendment of the pleadings is reviewed for abuse of discretion. Espinoza-Saenz , 235 F.3d at 503. When, however, the relation-back question implicates the timeliness of a proposed amendment to a § 2255 motion, review is de novo. Id. ("Under the circumstances here, however, we are reviewing the district court's legal conclusion that it did not have the authority to allow an untimely amendment. Our review requires a decision on an issue of law and thus, is considered by this court de novo.");17 Trent , 884 F.3d at 992 (reviewing de novo whether a claim in movant's amended § 2255 motion "related back to his original § 2255 motion"). In this case, the district court concluded, based on an analysis of the rule set out in Espinoza-Saenz , that Roe's failure-to-consult claim did not relate back to his failure-to-file claim because it was based on an entirely new theory. Accordingly, this court's review is de novo.

3. Analysis

The district court correctly concluded Roe's failure-to-consult claim does not relate back to his failure-to file claim.18

*1299In explaining this conclusion, it is helpful to start by discussing the types of facts necessary to prove each type of claim. With this background in mind, it becomes clear Roe's failure-to-consult claim relies on an entirely new and distinct aggregation of facts from those set out in his original § 2255 motion in support of the failure-to-file claim. That is, the new claim is "supported by facts that differ in both time and type from those the original petition set forth." Mayle , 545 U.S. at 650, 125 S.Ct. 2562.

The resolution of Roe's failure-to-file claim depends entirely on the answer to the following factual question: did Roe request that trial counsel file a notice of appeal on Roe's behalf? See Roe v. Flores-Ortega , 528 U.S. 470, 477, 120 S.Ct. 1029, 145 L.Ed.2d 985 (2000) ("[A] lawyer who disregards specific instructions from the defendant to file a notice of appeal acts in a manner that is professionally unreasonable.").19 That is true because counsel's obligation to file a requested notice of appeal is absolute. Id. ("[A] defendant who instructs counsel to initiate an appeal reasonably relies upon counsel to file the necessary notice. Counsel's failure to do so cannot be considered a strategic decision; filing a notice of appeal is a purely ministerial task, and the failure to file reflects inattention to the defendant's wishes.").

A failure-to-consult claim, on the other hand, is dependent on a significantly more complex and extensive factual milieu. Unlike the absolutist requirement that trial counsel file a notice of appeal when so directed, trial counsel's failure to consult with a defendant regarding the possibility of taking an appeal implicates the Sixth Amendment only if that failure is unreasonable. Id. at 479, 120 S.Ct. 1029 ("We cannot say, as a constitutional matter, that in every case counsel's failure to consult with the defendant about an appeal is necessarily unreasonable, and therefore deficient."). Trial "counsel has a constitutionally imposed duty to consult with the defendant about an appeal when there is reason to think either (1) that a rational defendant would want to appeal (for example, because there are nonfrivolous grounds for appeal), or (2) that this particular defendant reasonably demonstrated to counsel that he was interested in appealing." Id. at 480, 120 S.Ct. 1029. "In making this determination, courts must take into account all the information counsel knew or should have known." Id. Thus, to properly resolve Roe's failure-to-consult claim, the court must examine the entire course of the proceedings to determine what a hypothetical rational defendant would want and, additionally, what Roe's actions reasonably conveyed to his trial counsel. Id.

Roe asserted in his original § 2255 motion that he specifically instructed his trial counsel to file a notice of appeal. The operative facts tied to this claim were limited both by time (Roe's request allegedly occurred on the date of sentencing) and type (trial counsel performed ineffectively by failing to perform the ministerial task of filing a notice of appeal). See id. at 477, 120 S.Ct. 1029. Not surprisingly, the failure-to-consult claim *1300set out in Roe's supplemental brief relies on an entirely different set of facts that span a time frame over the entire course of trial counsel's representation of Roe. That is, Roe asserts his conduct from the beginning of the representation to the entry of sentence should have reasonably led trial counsel to believe he was interested in taking an appeal.20 And, in asserting a rational defendant in his position would want to appeal, Roe identified the following allegedly nonfrivolous grounds for appeal: (1) whether the specific state drug crime set out in the government's § 851 information validly triggered an enhanced mandatory minimum; (2) whether there existed a sufficient factual basis for a guilty plea to the Conspiracy Count; and (3) whether the PSR improperly attributed too much cocaine to Roe, improperly making him subject to the enhanced mandatory minimum set out in 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(A)(ii). These allegedly nonfrivolous issues arise from facts that are both temporally and factually disconnected from the single fact relevant to Roe's failure-to-file claim. For that very reason, there is simply no doubt that if these two claims had been set out in Roe's original § 2255 motion, they would have had to be pleaded discreetly and supported by separate, specific factual averments to comply with the dictates of Section 2255 Rule 2(b).21 Thus, we have no difficulty concluding Roe's failure-to-consult claim did not arise from a "common core of operative facts" shared with his failure-to-file claims. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(c)(1)(B). Instead, the failure-to-consult claim arises from a "congeries of facts" entirely different from the alleged fact underlying Roe's failure-to-file claim. Mayle , 545 U.S. at 661, 125 S.Ct. 2562. Accordingly, the district court did not err when it concluded Roe's failure-to-consult claim was untimely.22

IV. CONCLUSION

For those reasons set out above, with the specific exception of that part of the district court order addressing Roe's failure-to-consult claim on the merits, see supra n.22, the order of the district court *1301denying Roe's § 2255 motion is hereby AFFIRMED .
