Appellate Case: 24-1382 Document: 23 Date Filed: 12/30/2024 Page: 1 FILED United States Court of Appeals UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS Tenth Circuit FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT December 30, 2024 _________________________________ Christopher M. Wolpert Clerk of Court UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 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* This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel.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.

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.
