MEMORANDUM **

Isaiah Perkins appeals his conviction on two counts of being a prohibited person in *853 possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(9) and 924(a)(2). Perkins’s sole challenge to his conviction is that his attorney provided him with ineffective assistance of counsel at trial by opposing the government’s motion in li-mine to exclude certain evidence as irrelevant, violating the district court’s order granting the motion in limine by mentioning the evidence at trial and by not seeking an instruction on the affirmative defense of entrapment by estoppel.

We “permit[] ineffective assistance' claims to be reviewed on direct appeal only in the unusual cases where (1) the record on appeal is sufficiently developed to permit determination of the issue, or (2) the legal representation is so inadequate that it obviously denies a defendant his Sixth Amendment right to counsel.” United States v. Rahman, 642 F.3d 1257, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 2011). Neither exception applies. Perkins concedes that an entrapment by estoppel defense might have failed, and this record is not sufficiently developed to evaluate his probability of success. Therefore, his appeal must be dismissed. As long as Perkins remains under supervised release, he may raise his ineffective assistance claim through the more usual route of collateral attack under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. See Massaro v. United States, 538 U.S. 500, 504-05, 123 S.Ct. 1690, 155 L.Ed.2d 714 (2003); Matus-Leva v. United States, 287 F.3d 758, 761 (9th Cir. 2002). In doing so, Perkins will have the opportunity to develop the record to encompass all aspects of his attorney’s performance.

DISMISSED.
