Darnell Clemons pleaded guilty to carjacking, ammunition, and firearms offenses under a plea agreement containing an appeal waiver. He appealed despite the waiver, and his counsel moved to withdraw under Anders versus California.
The court’s reasoning
The court found Clemons understood the waiver terms at his plea hearing. Ineffective assistance claims belong in collateral review. Sentencing and misconduct claims were waived. No miscarriage of justice would result from enforcement.
