Summary: written with AI from the case record.
What it's about
The Supreme Court refused to hear the case (denied review), so it did not decide that question.
The dispute concerns how a judge’s statement during a guilty-plea hearing relates to a written waiver of sentence appeals.
Question presented
Did the district court’s oral declaration, during the Petitioner’s Rule 11 change–of–plea proceeding, that the Petitioner reserved the right to appeal a sentence that was not in compliance with the United States Sentencing Guidelines permit an appeal based on an asserted misapplication of the Guidelines by the district court, despite the express sentence appeal waiver language in the written plea agreement?
