Waivers of Appeal, Collateral Relief Rights Enforced

U.S. v. Leon, 2007 WL 416913 (2/8/07) - The 10th enforces the defendant's appeal waiver, rejecting his claim of incompetence to plea, since the psychs who examined him thought he was a world-class malingerer.

U.S. v. Moctezuma-Salinas, 2007 WL 416920 (2/8/07)(unpub'd) - Counsel's failure to negotiate a better plea bargain cannot be a ground to invalidate a collateral relief waiver.
