How courts have described this case

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

• holding that “this court retains subject matter jurisdiction over the appeal by a defendant who had signed an appellate waiver”
• holding that a defendant's waiver of appellate rights does not divest this Court of jurisdiction to hear an appeal
• noting that, while we retain jurisdiction over waived appeals, “we will not exercise that jurisdiction to review the merits” of such an appeal “unless the result would work a miscarriage of justice”
• looking to the plea agreement and colloquy in turn to evaluate knowing and voluntary nature of the waiver
• finding as significant to a voluntary and knowing guilty plea that a habeas petitioner conceded to knowingly and voluntarily entering an appellate waiver
• affirming a judgment in which the defendant entered a knowing and voluntary waiver, yet presented a challenge to the reasonableness of her sentence
