MEMORANDUM**


2
Tracy Lynn Bloe appeals her conviction, following a jury trial, for possession with intent to distribute cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1).   Bloe contends that she received ineffective assistance of counsel because her trial counsel failed to move to suppress the cocaine seized pursuant to an airport luggage search.   We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.


3
Generally, "we will not review challenges to the effectiveness of defense counsel on direct appeal.   Such an issue is more appropriately reserved for habeas corpus proceedings, where facts outside the record, but necessary to the disposition of the claim, may be fully developed."   United States v. Laughlin, 933 F.2d 786, 788 (9th Cir.1991) (citations omitted);   accord United States v. Daly, 974 F.2d 1215, 1218 (9th Cir.1992).


4
Here, the record lacks facts necessary to properly address Bloe's claim on direct appeal.   See Daly, 974 F.2d at 1218.   Accordingly, we decline to address her claim.   See id.;  Laughlin, 933 F.2d at 789.


5
AFFIRMED.
