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

• concluding that \the viability of the doctrine is hanging by a thread\ and that \courts have rejected its application with almost monotonous regularity\
• noting that a-court should not impose a remedy against a non-breaching party’s will
• determining that the federal Government breached its promise “not to oppose” a defendant’s position on a Guidelines enhancement where the Government’s remarks “serve[d] as a possible basis for the district court to ignore” that promise (quotation marks omitted)
• stressing the plain language of the agreement and eschewing a “rigidly literal” interpretive approach
• noting the prosecution’s obligation to “inform the court that it cannot answer the question without breaching its plea agreement”
• noting that the defense there is “hanging by a thread”
