Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion,

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

Rodney W. Whitney pled guilty pursuant to a plea agreement to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349 (2012), and conspiracy to commit money laundering, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956(h) (2012). He was sentenced to two concurrent terms of 60 months’ imprisonment and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $2,077,488.39. On appeal from the district court’s June 2014 amended judgment, Whitney argues that trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance in failing to object to the district court’s order of restitution and the application of a 2-level enhancement to his offense level under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 3Bl.l(c) (2011) for his aggravating role.

We decline to reach Whitney’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel. Unless an attorney’s ineffectiveness . conclusively appears on the face of the record, ineffective assistance claims generally are not addressed on direct appeal. United States v. Benton, 523 F.3d 424, 435 (4th Cir. 2008). Instead, such claims should be raised in a motion brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012), in order to permit sufficient development of the record. United States v. Baptiste, 596 F.3d 214, 216 n. 1 (4th Cir. 2010). Because the record does not conclusively establish ineffective assistance of counsel, we conclude that these claims should be raised, if at all, in a § 2255 motion.

*326 Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s amended judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
