OPINION
TRAXLER, Chief Judge:
After being convicted of numerous charges, including mail and wire fraud, see United States v. Chapman, No. 04-5010, 2006 WL 3539146 (4th Cm. Dec. 8, 2006), Nathan Chapman filed a motion under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 challenging his convictions on several grounds. The district court denied relief. We granted a certificate of appealability to permit Chapman to appeal the district court’s rejection of his claim that trial counsel was ineffective for ignoring Chapman’s direction to accept the district court’s offer of a mistrial. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm.
