Plaintiff - Appellee,
v. No. 24-1382 (D.C. No. 1:23-CR-00251-RM-6) DARRYL GOODMAN, (D. Colo.)
Defendant - Appellant. _________________________________
ORDER AND JUDGMENT * _________________________________
Before HARTZ, TYMKOVICH, and BACHARACH, Circuit Judges. _________________________________
Darryl Goodman pled guilty to distribution and possession of a controlled
substance, and aiding and abetting the same, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a) and
(b)(1)(B)(vi) and 18 U.S.C. § 2. His plea agreement contained a broad waiver of his
appellate rights. Despite that waiver, Mr. Goodman filed this appeal. The
government moved to enforce the appeal waiver under United States v. Hahn,
359 F.3d 1315 (10th Cir. 2004) (en banc). In response, Mr. Goodman conceded he
“is not opposed to enforcement of the appeal waiver, with the understanding that the
appeal waiver does not waive a potential timely appeal from a denial of a motion
* This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited, however, for its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1. Appellate Case: 24-1382 Document: 23 Date Filed: 12/30/2024 Page: 2
under 28 U.S.C. § 2255” based on ineffective assistance of counsel. Resp. at 3.
Mr. Goodman’s understanding is correct. The appeal waiver does not prevent him
from seeking collateral relief based on ineffective assistance of counsel. See Mot. to
Enforce, Attach. 1 at 3. Based on Mr. Goodman’s concession, we grant the
government’s motion to enforce the appeal waiver and dismiss this appeal.
