1Opinion of the Court

WOLLMAN, Chief Judge.

Donna Barger appeals from the district court’s 1 denial of her petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. We affirm.

I

Barger was sentenced to 120 months in prison and a five-year period of supervised release as a result of her plea of guilty to possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(C). She filed a section 2255 petition attacking her sentence, alleging that her attorney’s failure to file a notice of appeal pursuant to her request violated her Sixth Amendment right to counsel.
