R. DAVID PROCTOR

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Although Defendant/Movant asserts that her lawyer failed to advise her of the potential 1

sentencing range, even assuming that was the case, she has failed to explain why that alleged

deficiency was not cured when this court carefully and thoroughly advised her of the sentencing

ranges for each of the charges, and that some of the charges were required to be served consecutively.
