How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that even if defendant was able to show a breach, he did not establish that it affected his substantial rights
- holding that the government breached a plea agreement in which it promised it “will,” subject to certain conditions the defendant satisfied, “make a motion . . . [to] reduce the defendant’s offense level” when the government failed to move for that reduction at sentencing
- finding no impact on defendant’s substantial rights when, even if the government breached the plea, the defendant “has not demonstrated a reasonable probability that the district court would have imposed a lesser sentence”
- “Where a plea agreement is ambiguous, the ambiguities are construed against the government.”
