Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Fernando Banda appeals his conviction on five counts related to the transport of illegal aliens under 8 U.S.C. § 1324. He asserts that he received ineffective assistance of counsel because counsel failed to move to suppress the fruits of an unconstitutional search and seizure. We review an ineffective assistance claim on direct appeal “only when it was raised before the district court and the record provides sufficient details for review.” United States v. Puckett, 505 F.3d 377, 387 (5th Cir.2007), aff'd in part on other grounds, — U.S. —, 129 S.Ct. 1423, 1428, 173 L.Ed.2d 266 (2009). Because Banda did not raise his claim in the district court, we decline to review it. See id. The judgment of the district court is 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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
