Bobby J. Key v. United States

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• rejecting the petitioner’s bald allegation that he would have pleaded differently and gone to trial absent counsel’s poor advice
• alleged representations regarding parole, not mentioned in the Rule 11 hearing, are insufficient to set aside guilty plea as involuntary
• “[T]he representations of the defendant [at a plea hearing] as well as any findings made by the judge accepting the plea[] constitute a formidable barrier in any subsequent collateral proceeding.”
• defendant's representations at plea hearing strong obstacle to successful collateral attack on conviction
• “[W]here the record, as in this case, reflects that the defendant voluntarily entered into the plea, and, as here, the section 2255 motion does not clearly present new specific allegations, then no section 2255 evidentiary hearing is required.”
