Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:95-CV-077-Y
----------------------
December 11, 1996
Before SMITH, DUHÉ, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Corey Deshun Willis, a Texas prisoner (# 643988), appeals
the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition for
a writ of habeas corpus. He argues that his guilty plea to a
robbery-by-threats charge was involuntary and that the
prosecution breached his plea agreement, that his attorney was

ineffective for causing him to plead guilty by telling him that
he would receive an early parole date, and that counsel was
ineffective in other respects. Willis has failed to show that
his guilty plea was not knowingly and voluntarily entered. See
James v. Cain, 56 F.3d 662, 666 (5th Cir. 1996). His primary
ineffective-assistance claim is meritless because he has not
shown that he would have insisted on proceeding to trial in the
absence of allegedly erroneous advice concerning his parole
eligibility. See Hill v. Lockhart, 474 U.S. 52, 59 (1985).
Willis’ remaining ineffective assistance claims are waived by
entry of a valid guilty plea. Smith v. Estelle, 711 F.2d 677,
682 (5th Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 466 U.S. 906 (1984). Willis
is not entitled to appointed counsel on appeal; his motion for
appointed counsel is DENIED. See Self v. Blackburn, 751 F.2d
789, 793 & n.19 (5th Cir. 1985). Willis’ motion to strike a
clerk’s office order granting the respondent’s unopposed motion
to expand the record on appeal by filing a transcript of Willis’
plea proceeding is also DENIED.
AFFIRMED.
MOTIONS DENIED.
