insufficient to satisfy will love and his emotion was the functional equivalent of a real fifty nine emotion the government's argument in response is not to claim that fear really doesn't control this but our case law in re sentence is that you don't need a separate document if you have an omission or substantial mission of legal reasoning in the order in so fifty nine emotion and then you have to convince us that a pre filing fifty nine emotion before entry of judgment is permitted in this circumstance so if it sounds like you got those two things to do so so why address those two points yes here ellie is on point in this case dresses both of those issues in fear only the petitioner who is acting per se tiled his mission as a rule sixty motion and this d the purpose here was to prevent judgment because he had objections to the magistrate judges report recommendations so there is a functional difference here isn't there  anything that a person or files write any any finally says you know i've moved or you know i i don't like the food or whatever whatever prison for sure sure we are considering anything that a prisoner files as an attempt to secure a judgment in his or her temple form and function matter and they're the same they match one isn't being elevated over the other they were doing the same thing in this instance it's not it's not like function goes one way form goes the other they are going perfectly in this case because the district  typically there are safeguards where district judges do wait an additional time to rule on these missions and so we're not i'm you know i'm not i'm asking you would you made a pretty strong statement to the district judge didn't wait a reasonable amount of time i'm asking just two questions one is there any case or rule of procedure that requires district judge to wait of cases that allows prisoners to use the mailbox rule inherent in that line of reasoning is that district judges are not going to rule the day  there there is a delay involved with the meal and so to conclude the district that might be the expectation but that's not a rule of law that if a district judge does rule on that date that it's necessarily or say on its own is ever we we didn't cite a case that said that in the brief because it's not material to our argument here what we did in our briefing is we took the facts as they were we however from your prior comments i believe we have reached a point of agreement that there is no jurisdiction in here unless in this case unless there is some unusual exception  rd order is a final order it is it is it's not an opinion it contains no legal discussion it just says well your honor if you actually look at the document it is completely and obviously a set of objections to the magistrate judge this report this is not a situation in which we're dealing with a pro se l face clearly in a time intended as objections more important however it was filed according to the mailbox who are on may st there was no decision at that point the was construed is a certificate of appeal ability filed on may st with judgment coming on me rd would we have jurisdiction or rule for is so the only way we can construe this so would so the most favorable way that we could construe this would be as a rule fifty nine emotion if it were a rule fifty nine emotion filed on and that's a big if but but but but but if it were a  st this is filed assuming it was in the hands of the court that day which of course it wasn't but if the if the judge had seen it that day by a base team filed that day  what is he trying to alter or i meant there is no judgment so fifty nine ve motions that are served before judgment is ever filed before judgment is entered cannot extend the period of appeal heard that's a bright line rule that you're advocating yes your honor that is and i would point the court toward the marshall decision now that was that's a cape may green case it is not a world fifty nine dollars decision we have not  from the bench some sort of political airy decision something that decided some of the issues but not all of the issues the notice or appeals filed after that before there's an actual judgment you know there are still things remaining to be done and that's we believe that the what was done in martial that world that was announced that can and does not apply where there was no judgment d before it was  should apply in this case to all fifty nine emotion as well you can't file a motion to amend the judgment if no judgment exists as of that time and that's the fact situation we have in this case some sort of decision was made yet something will remain that they were not final and it was a notice of appeal filed after that decision had been made so we believe that the marshal case takes care of that says we are  now obviously the government's position is it's court lacks jurisdiction and therefore this court should never reach the merits of this case but i would like to address those merits because there's a point of importance and what is happened here is that the defendant is claiming that he had a secret and unexpressed belief that he was pleading to only the quantity of pills that he received in his brain for all that a pseudo patient instead of a driver for this pill mill operation he pled guilty he was given a thorough and complete colloquy that in the court's decision in this case on direct appeal judge went has said left no suggestion that this play with not knowing involuntary what's the harm your honor we have to respect the finality of judgment and this is and also respect this court's law on the quiz in guilty pleas this was a letter colloquy as the court found before shouldn't the defendant should not be allowed or encouraged to undermine that when there is a particular finding that they knew what the  yeah that's true but the what is the defendant does not have to be advised of his guilty plea of what the sentence or guidelines calculation is and that's what this drug quantity is about there's no mandatory minimum in this case in fact it would not if we didn't not possible and not proper for the court to get into with sentencing guidelines calculation discussion know he thought it was just for his and so that would explain why he i mean i mean again the question is whether we get a certificate to people is i understand the question if the st action the next question is is are certificate of appeal ability and then isn't he claiming  that he knew he was looking at a twenty year maximum penalty statute torrie maximum he agreed that he was facing that and that no decision had yet been d made as to what he would would receive that is what is if those too facts are present i guess what you're saying is then there can be no ineffective assistance of counsel claim for knowledge of the plea because he acknowledged it and he knew the maximum penalty therefore is counsel can never be to blame even if his counsel told him something different or something unusual we're never going to grant a certificate or appeal building we're never going to send that back for an evidentiary hearing because we have those two facts that we're saying in cases like this where what counsel allegedly said and of course counsel is deceased which is one reason why an evidentiary hearing would d be less than productive what defendant alleges is that if these counsel essentially made direct appeal and is included in the appellant appendix that makes pretty clear that that attorney stapleton did in fact correctly explain the law on conspiracy to defend it that's all we're going to have regarding what mr stapleton said give it is unfortunate that mine is although frankly i do have an a with a in my office who is just dying to testify but we don't get there we don't get there because the law is that an accurate projection of a sentence by defense counsel does not invalidate a guilty plea as long as the defendant is told the things that the defendant was told here maximum penalty existence of sentencing guidelines note how commission guidelines has been made yet and no decision as to the sentence has been made yet and the defendant agrees that there have been no promises to him the defendant can certainly hold out hope that he may convince the court of his argument on drug quantity but he entered an open plea he had no promises and in fact he was thoroughly advised and admitted that he had read the government's change clear memorandum which told him exactly what the government said it could prove he wanted to dispute that sentencing that's fine but the fact that he lost does not mean either that has to make a substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right and as the court found on his direct appeal he was not deprived of any of his constitutional rights do you make a jurisdictional question for me nine motion that was used to allege legal error i haven't heard you talk about the fear only argument specifically where your honor partly i haven't discussed it because it was not briefed on the rule fifty eight argument with which  my colleague opened her argument was not something i was prepared for i understand from the colloquy that counsel had with judge flips that there may be some argument about whether the district court order was a proper and appropriate final judgment under will fifty eight dollars we submit obviously that it was it was clearly an order it was not an opinion frankly i did not understand the argument to be anything other than would be subject our general argument which is you can't make a motion to amend a judgment that doesn't exist they may say pirelli for there were fifty nine argument but it doesn't get around proposed what you say they're like why couldn't the district court have just treated the objections as objections that needed to be addressed rather than as a rule fifty nine percent right and i'm not trying to get into the district i just have i'm saying as a functional practical matter that is what happened here previously adopted approved an adopted me on our but did not have jackson's pro se objections before it should should we not take the district court at its word when it's says that as i understand what you just said in response to judge porter's question you want us to treat that as a ruling on a fifty nine emotion and i think if the district judge were treating the objections file them a but it does adverse to adopting the arn are again correct so as i understand your argument you're asking us to disregard what the district court said adopting i and as a rule fifty nine motion and so the district court doesn't have an obligation to liberally construe for jurisdictional purposes what mr jackson filed the government's proposal here create uncertainty where there currently is none in the case law when there are and essentially two things that have crossed in the mail when the district court enters an order but the defendant has already mailed objections as a right see with it's windy you're back to your clients back at least but that doesn't solve the timing issue over pre fab will have to nine emotion that's still a big jurisdiction question right the government is trying to have it both ways right it's trying to  and say that because the document was mailed on may wind that somehow not five this court's ability to give a functional construction to the motion but it was there are and there are not cases that have analyzed the situation again because it comes up so rarely the any in any possible context
