How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the district court’s statement that the defendant could appeal his sentence “under some circumstances” was correct insofar as waivers do not prevent the correction of a miscarriage of justice, and thus the statement did not negate the defendant’s appeal waiver
• “It is well-established, however, that expert testimony 11 concerning an ultimate issue is not per se improper.”
• “The credibility of an informant is enhanced to the extent he has provided information that indicates first-hand knowledge,” particularly of “concealed illegal activity as opposed to easily knowable, nonincriminating facts”
