invitation that we would like that they would like a limited ream in because we believe that nothing less than a full vacation of the sentence and it's a no vote sentencing hearing would be in the best interest of the appellant and i believe we can get there by showing that when the court was analyzing the mandatory guidelines back then there was a mistake made by all the parties below and that in the critical mistake was in this case we had an undercover buy with five thousand pills and what the weight that the government is contending was deflated to was the gross weight of the grams of the pills where if you use the nine hundred ninety eight guideline book you actually use that active weight or the pure ingredient in that's what months for thirty three months to be appealed and it specifically states any sentence not so imposed it's baffling to me why the government keeps contending that the appellate waiver in this case is a political will because clearly the court when sentencing the appellant to sixty three months was above and beyond the appellate waiver reminder when we received this case this case was already in the dismissal state because the counsel below it forgot specifically reserves the right to appeal any sentence not so on in that range and so the range that was stipulated to the reason why this was different because the government then sought an object an obstruction of justice and handsome and which wasn't contemplated by the original said that if the government wants to relieve itself of obligations in a plea agreement after a defendant reaches them specifically enumerate their ability to do so and they did not do so in this agreement i don't believe the waiver is an issue because of the fact that the sentence was sixty three months and that wasn't the sentence that was so imposed but i'm happy to address it because obviously i don't want to have the appellate waiver deprive the court of jurisdiction so i'm happy to address any questions on that if that's a critical issue tony were of the minatory minimum plays a role here in m d m a there is no mandatory minimum your honor and d m a doesn't have a congress only an active mandatory minimum scheme that probation misses a prior conviction or they start at the time of the sentence there was some conviction that was unknown that the criminal history gory history category could change and that was based on the information that was available at the time  he changed his plea but the fact is that the information didn't change the government is now creatively trying to suggest that simply because he of scrawny did that information has now changed that they cited a case which i don't believe i not in a twenty eighth letter but what's relevant is that in this case he was only acknowledging that the time of the plea that was the information that was available and that if what that clause is usually inserted is at that when they come to the sentencing hearing in the interim the probation department prepares a p s r and it's possible the defendant has to acknowledge that when they come to the sentencing hearing if you forgot to tell them about ten suspended driver's license convictions or drunk driving conventions those misdemeanors are unknown minor convictions could push the criminal history or a cat history category to a level that wasn't contemplated but i don't think that has anything to do with the appellate waiver i think on vote if if the court had decided to depart from the plea agreement obviously he could appeal and this case this was just a departure that occurred four years later but it's still doesn't deprive the court of jurisdiction once there was the sentence not so imposed counsel your client was a fugitive from justice for three years this occur after the plea agreement or before after and then you voluntarily surrendered himself ok with this and that baby and he voluntarily surrendered expressed remorse the government chose not to charge him any additionally he came back to court i think all the reasons why it's gone did are maybe relevant  in an emotional issue or maybe for the sentencing judge but they're not relevant to the contractual issues in the plea agreement because the police did not have a forfeiture provision if he didn't show up for sentencing then the agreement would be forfeited and i see those commonly in the central district this was a district of nevada a play group but the government had the option of including all sorts of conditions if the defendant didn't appear for sentencing but they didn't and because the government is trying to construe a contractual provision  case by not recommending that the defendant receive a three level reduction for acceptance of responsibility court in a case very similar to this one united states versus trap which i submitted to this court by way of a twenty eight chain letter on monday at that case indicated that the parties under recognized those circumstances changed dramatically when mr weiss first decided not to appear forward for his sentencing he therefore did not receive the three point reduction for acceptance of responsibility and he received and an additional enhanced meant for obstruction of justice what of that mr richards argument that there was no provision in the plea agreement about the effect of feeling to show up for sentencing that's correct there was no particular provision but yes i've been a kid in our break and there is an implicit understanding young plea agreements that one someone a defendant pleads effect does that have as a matter of law what that has what effect it has is that it relieved the united states of its awful geisha to recommend that the defendant receive a three point prevent any argument that you breached the agreement but why did that clause why did he wait his right to appeal that in the application of that answer because it's it seems to me illogical to suggest that he had the defendant appear for sentencing he would have been sentenced as contemplated under the a was incorrectly calculated the defendant stipulated to the drug quantity and there was no objection to the calculation at the time of sentencing and in fact it doesn't matter anyway because what  reply brief he suggested the court that the one thousand nine hundred eight version of the guidelines should be used for the drug calculation but then he goes on to suggest in this reply brief to page twenty two that the two thousand and one version of the guideline now before this court i don't know that that this court can create jurisdiction based upon some theoretical issue that could have been raised but wasn't raised seems to me we have to deal with the at the issues that were raised not the issues that should be the limited remand under the miranda hernandez case that i've cited in my twenty eight chain letter as well all in all this has been a bit of a frustrating case for me i gross weight counts and i don't disagree there was a stipulation to gross weight of the m d m a the five thousand pills at about four hundred grams but it absolutely meant nothing because the guidelines under note ten and eleven require you to apply the pure weight there was an error so once i have jurisdiction i'm now found to argue zealously on behalf of my client it's not my fault that his counsel below didn't understand the difference and once we're here you can apply plainer were reviewed to a missed application of the guidelines once we have an error in the application of the mandatory guidelines we're entitled to the sentence to be vacated and allow him to have a regular sentencing hearing where he can properly have the guidelines applied is in an advisory role in the court to consider the three five five three eight factors you heard mr damns view as to the effect of failing to appear for sentencing on the plea agreement what's what's your view that mr dean argued some amorphous good very depriving someone of their of their jurisdiction or a forfeiture of certain terms it has to be expressed and that's why the second circuit put the government on notice in that one thousand nine hundred two rivera case which i cited in my brief saying if you're going to  deprive the government of certain obligations or forfeit provisions of the defendant you have to have the defendant expressly waive them i'm not suggesting that mr dam is not precluded from arguing the court may apply or not apply applications of the guidelines but if i have shown that the core applications and really nothing that's been said today really persuades anybody differently he should be entitled to just have a sentencing hearing with competent counsel and what happened in this case was there was gross error in the weight and also the guideline book that was used they should have used the two thousand and four when it comes back the law actually used the latest guidelines book at the time of sentencing which will probably would be if you did remand it would be the november two thousand and five guideline book if it's out it's not out they'd use the two thousand and four thank you counsel your time has expired the case just argued movies submitted for decision
