View this case - free  

Overview: Court of appeals rejected defendant's claim that his guilty plea was not knowing and voluntary because his attorney failed to advise him of the immigration consequences of his conviction, and found that defendant waived his claims that he was denied his right to a speedy trial and indicted after statute of limitations had run when he pled guilty.

View this case - free

United States v. Trelles-Alcazar, No. 06-4224, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, March 23, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Only potential issue to be raised concerned ineffective assistance of counsel in connection with defendant's appeal waiver, and an appeal was not the proper vehicle for that challenge. Such a claim needed to be raised by motion under 28 U.S.C.S. § 2255 rather than by appeal.
