Additionally, throughout their testimony each defendant continued to insist that Mr. Lamb represent him. The record before us clearly demonstrates that Phillip H. Yelton and Randy Scott Yelton have voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently waived then-right to appeal, if convicted, on grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel based upon Mr. Lamb’s potential conflict of interest. Id. 361 S.E.2d at 757. In United States v.

Alabama, 881 F.2d 1013, 1017-18 (11th Cir.1989) (<HOLDING>); Bridges v. United States, 794 F.2d 1189, 1194
