Although Green stated that he understood the requirement that he report to a residential reentry center was optional, our review of the record convinces us that the district court did not abuse its discretion in concluding otherwise. Green also argues that the district court erred in imposing the special condition of supervised release without
providing advance notice of its intent to do so, and that it abused its discretion in imposing the condition. Green did not
object to the lack of prior notice by the district court, and thus his assertion of error is reviewed under the plain error standard. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 52(b); United States v. Olano, 2

§ 3583(d) (2006), and otherwise did not abuse its discretion in imposing this condition. Green's final argument is that counsel was ineffective in failing to object to the imposition of the special condition of supervised release. Claims of ineffective assistance of
counsel are generally not cognizable on direct appeal. States v. King, 119 F.3d 290, 295 (4th Cir. 1997).
