    Consuelo SANGUINO, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Appellee.
    No. 09-3594.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: Jan. 28, 2011.
    Filed: Feb. 2, 2011.
    Consuelo Sanguino, Waseca, MN, pro se.
    
      Frank Santiago, Iowa City, IA, for Petitioner-Appellant.
    John H. Lammers, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Sioux City, IA, for Respondent-Appellee.
    Before LOKEN, MURPHY, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
   [UNPUBLISHED]

PER CURIAM.

Federal prisoner Consuelo Sanguino appeals the district court’s denial of her 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. This court granted a certificate on a single issue, whether counsel was ineffective for failing to file an appeal as requested. Sanguino has expressly abandoned that issue in her appellate brief, however, and submitted her affidavit stating she did not direct her attorney to file an appeal.

Sanguino instead raises a new claim that her attorney was ineffective in failing to consult with her about an appeal. See Roe v. Flores-Ortega, 528 U.S. 470, 477, 120 S.Ct. 1029, 145 L.Ed.2d 985 (2000) (counsel has duty to consult when rational defendant would want appeal or particular defendant reasonably showed interest in appeal). Our review is limited to those issues specified in the certificate of appealability, however. See Harris v. Bowersox, 184 F.3d 744, 748 (8th Cir.1999). In any event, because Sanguino received the lowest Guidelines sentence following her guilty plea, counsel told her there were no meritorious grounds for appeal, and she did not express any interest in appealing her sentence, we see no plain error. See Green v. United States, 323 F.3d 1100, 1103 (8th Cir.2003) (declining to consider claim that counsel failed to consult about appeal, raised for first time on appeal, absent plain error resulting in miscarriage of justice; finding none where movant received lowest Guidelines sentence, counsel stated there were no grounds for appeal, and movant expressed no interest in appeal). Thus, we summarily affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The Honorable Mark W. Bennett, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Iowa.
