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 made two problematic statements in explaining the waiver provision in the plea agreement” that “transformed the nature” of the written appeal waiver
- vitiating plea waiver where the court initially told the defendant that he “would still have the right to appeal the sentence if [he] believe[d] the sentence is illegal,” and later told him that he “might have the right to appeal, under some circumstances, if he did not ‘like’ the sentence”
