United States v. Michael D. Thompson

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 defendant's assent to the district court's course of action differs from inadvertently failing to object to such action and is thus not subject to even plain error review
• holding defendant waived appeal by withdrawing all objections and requesting the sentence imposed
• declining to review findings related to a sentencing enhancement, drug quantity, and criminal history, even for plain error, where defendant withdrew his objections to the PSR
• noting a defendant may not complain when the district court gave him exactly what his counsel requested – a sentence at the low end of the guideline range
• affirming the district court’s judgment where counsel withdrew defendant’s objections to the PSR and requested a sentence “at the low end of the guideline range, which the district court did”
• “On appeal, [the defendant] cannot complain that the district court gave him exactly what [he] asked.”
