UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Sung Cho (Steve) HESTER; Hyun Uu Kim, Defendants-Appellants, 229 F. App'x 315

PER CURIAM: Sung Cho “Steve” Hester (“Hester”) and Hyun Uu Kim (“Kim”) appeal their convictions for conspiracy to possess and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. Kim also appeals his conviction for using and carrying a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime. Having carefully considered each of Hester’s and Kim’s points of error in light of the record, the written and oral arguments of the parties, and the applicable law, and having found no reversible error, we affirm the defendants’ convictions.

We decline to entertain Hester’s ineffective assistance of counsel claim, which he raises for the first time in this appeal, but we do so without prejudice to such rights as Hester may have to raise this issue collaterally in a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. See United States v. Gonzales, 436 F.3d 560, 581 (5th Cir.2006). AFFIRMED. Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
