Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi

- - - - - - - - - -
June 29, 1995
Before JONES, WIENER, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
David Earl Hughes has failed to present an appellate
argument concerning the district court's determination that his
allegations of Fourth Amendment violations are procedurally
barred from 28 U.S.C. § 2255 review. Those claims are
effectively abandoned. Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25
(5th Cir. 1993); Fed. R. App. P. 28(a); see United States v.
Shaid, 937 F.2d 228, 231-32 (5th Cir. 1991) (en banc), cert.

waived by the entry of Hughes' guilty plea. United States v.
Bell, 966 F.2d 914, 915 (5th Cir. 1992); Smith v. Estelle, 711
F.2d 677, 682 (5th Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 466 U.S. 906 (1984).
The district court did not err in determining that Hughes'
ineffective assistance of counsel claims were without merit.
AFFIRMED.
