*287MEMORANDUM **

Alejandro Jiminez-Magallon appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 120-month sentence for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A) and 846. Because Jiminez-Magallon waived his right to appeal, we dismiss.

Jiminez-Magallon contends that the language of his plea agreement did not expressly waive his right to directly appeal counsel’s ineffectiveness with respect to plea negotiations. We conclude that the appeal waiver contained in Jiminez-Magallon’s plea agreement encompasses direct appeal of this issue. See United States v. Nunez, 223 F.3d 956, 958 (9th Cir. 2000).

Jiminez-Magallon also contends that his appeal waiver is not enforceable because he received ineffective assistance of counsel during the negotiation of his plea agreement. Because the record is insufficiently developed, we decline to consider this issue on direct appeal. See United States v. Jeronimo, 398 F.3d 1149, 1155-56 (9th Cir. 2005).

Jiminez-Magallon also contends that this appeal is not barred because the district court told him at sentencing that he had a right to appeal. However, the appeal waiver is valid because the district court informed him at the change of plea hearing that he was waiving his right to appeal. See United States v. Lopez-Armenta, 400 F.3d 1173, 1177 (9th Cir. 2005).

DISMISSED.
