the federal public defender's office and i represent mister wyatt mister wyatt raise a single claim on the appeal and that concerns the government's reach the cleargreen that the breach occurred because the government didn't inform the district court of mister why its cooperation appears to have been inadvertent it was not an intentional thing that the government did and it's a breach nevertheless because paragraph thirty three plea agreement required the government to advise the district court mister white's cooperation and the record shows that the government didn't do advise the district court and it did so there is nothing that says if the government is quiet in doesn't take exception or object to the cooperation that is otherwise provided that that satisfactory so that's why there's a breach and it is not something that then is cured by anything that offended because if you're running those at anyone who has been in a district court to pronounce sentence one of them horton things is to hear about cooperation that is probably the most powerful tool of the dials a sentence downwards and it's not a not the ear from the defendant about it because it is always the government through getting information sassing its value we see this in five k one we see this repeated in other contacts the government positions itself as the authority about what the value is the relative worth of somebody is cooperation and that's why it's necessary to hear from the government that carries much greater weight with district courts as opposed to defendants claiming that any little thing a little on the way is monumental when the government says it's important i think district courts take not that under marcus it is for us to show a reasonable probability that sentence could be different in that's the supreme court's decision in two thousand and ten and thoughtful district court judge even upon hearing from the parties about a joint recommendation for ten years might ask what has happened since the recommendation was made and if there's an additional amount of value comes the cooperation cases are developed testimony  convictions all of those things would seem to increase the relative tally as to the value of the cooperation so the district court may reach a different conclusion and say that the sentence even though recommended as a joint recommendation for ten years is there to get my thing and the sentencing transcript that the court said that would give any inclination that the court michael lower than the agreed upon sentence judge the district court said would give the sentence that this was a fair sentence so that's all we have but of course that is without all the necessary information and as a sentencing judge i would think that anyone would want to have the full complete information before it in order to assess whether that joint recommendation now should kill luck by virtue of cooperation that results in convictions etc in other cases so i think that how you frame the question doesn't accurately capture what has happened by way of the problem in the case is there a risk on remand you want to different judges or risk of a higher sentence there is always a risk of ira sentence judge and my client aware of these things however there is a possibility of a lower sentence too and the judge didn't seem to have any problem here thinking that it's ten years and it was a that and i think that would carry some weight in the event re sentencing additionally any cooperation value that now is known to the district court and a change in circumstance that can be taken into account under proper versus united states these are things that in a recent in sync can be presented and it is part of the remedy agreement on the recommended sentence and it just seems highly speculative the judge would would go below the judge of my client was police satisfied i'm sure he would have all entirely dismissed the appeal he has an is asking for a different sentence from judge that takes into account this information so it's speculative as much as any of these reach cases or so we have something that the district court wasn't apprised of that should have been back in fact the sentencing decisions under marcus that's a reasonable probability so i'd say that we've checked the boxes the st three plane air factors what remains that would be the forward in our view and that is satisfied and it was seen which is a seven circuit case that says a plea joint recommendation where mister wyatt got for syslog a sentence that he bargained for and that he argued for and then nd the nature and extent of this cooperation was in fact provided to the district court so it could have gone below the joint recommendation in its discretion under three thousand five hundred and fifty three a as a matter of fact it was invited to do so in two different ways number one m wyatt had four supporters who spoke to the court addressed the court at sentencing and i asked for essentially a very short sentence if any sense at all and then mr lyons himself during  went against the joint recommendation briefly from it to the surprise of everyone including his own lawyer and invited the district court to dva and give him a three year s acknowledge that the best practice is an affirmative oral or written statements from the government to that effect in this case however i think we can understand why it played out the way that it did at sentencing the defendant in this case took the initiative by filing a sealed memorandum that even an appeal he describes as extensive that described his cooperation and then when we got to the sentencing hearing the district court the st thing that the district court did was it addressed the sentence report determined if there were any objections after resolving that there warrant or excuse me after resolving that those issues then it immediately refer to the sealed filing among other materials that it had recei and gave the defense a chance to elaborate on that defense to ply him to do so unfortunately the government did not affirmatively indorse the information in that sealed filing again that would have been the best practice and we had no knowledge that but getting back to judge saint eve's point the government did implicitly acknowledge the information in that final and because we certainly didn't the nd fact as i did was indicating was that the district court expressly declined the invitation to go below the joint recommendation it's found on the record it said that this recommendation was eminently fair an eminently reasonable i would also point out that the ten year recommendation was well below the guideline range of two hundred and sixty two two thousand three hundred and twenty seven months that the government agrees to advise of the nature and extent of the defendant's cooperation i would point out that unlike five k one point juan it does not say the nature  nature and extent and that nature and extent provision is taken essentially verbatim from five k one point wanting in this case substantial assistance motion was not a to the defendant by the terms of the plea agreement you know understood that he doesn't dispute that now so what we're talking about is a defendant who as i said bargained for and got a ten year join recommendation having faced an indictment with much more serious charges including several counts with a fifteen year mandatory minimum so by virtue of bargaining for  ten year joint recommendation he avoided the fifteen year mandatory minimum he got a single count information with no mandatory minimum at all the coun is your honor although i have practiced primarily in front of one particular judge judge breeze block up in the green bay division my practice has been more limited with the more aki judges  believe that there is any sort of institutional resistance to that and even joint recommendations the sentencing hearing was very detailed in terms of the parties arguments that supported the joint recommendation mister wyatt himself gave a fairly lengthy allocution he had four supporters that spoke on his behalf he acknowledged during his allocution despite veering off and and going against the agreement which prompted a recess where he could confirm counsel and come back and counsel reaffirmed their commitment to the ten year recommendation acknowledged that the government had been gentle with him those are his words and he acknowledged that the ten year sentence was short for this type of crime he said he knew that it was mind blowing again his words to even ask for a lesser term than ten years and judge stan miller having heard all of that having considered all of the written and oral materials went through a measured and deliberate three thousand five hundred and fifty three analysis so we have confidence in this record that the district judge had the invitation to go below the recommendation and that he declined to do so so i think it would be pointless to remain and where essentially the exact same nature and extent information would be presented to a court  sentence in court and the parties would both be recommending the exact same ten year recommendation if they recommended before and that mister wyatt receives so unless there are further questions i would simply respectfully ask  laid out actually that did occur here our grievances is what didn't happen and that is the following that a clear agreement requirement the government informant mister korn of cooperation and so if there was an invitation to give a lower sentence what was missing the necessary information for the judge to accept that invitation and that would be a description of the cooperation from the government that's the full picture that's the information that's critical and if the sentence is thought to be imminently fair and reasonable that changes perhaps if the judge knows still more about cooperation if my client provided information about her or about something else that happened that's very significant and i would think a district court would want to know that and should include that in  decision ultimately to impose sentence and that judge stop mueller doesn't rubber stamp things because he wants to know information this is all the reason why the prosecutor should make sure that they're informed judge that mueller of what is necessary for him to make an assessment and again they have a fuller picture of the information that is relevant and the defense does so they should really be the ones providing details is there any is there any indication at this point there was additional cooperation from incompleteness of the record i can not want i would avoid securing the court to facts outside the record and i would hope the government would either but that of course is the boy here and so it should go back to the district court to have a complete accounting of the information so that thirty bop and three a factors can be fully assessed and a fair sentence imposed based on all the information that should be prevented presented rather to the district court so we're asking for be a man for that simple matter we think that that is the
