Heading: The Factual Misrepresentation Language

Text: 18 Remand for findings is not required on the intended meaning of the factual misrepresentation language contained in the plea agreement. The agreement is clear on its face. 19 At the July 20th hearing, the defense represented that Bronstein had made a good-faith effort to voluntarily disclose errors in the corporate return for 1973 and had relied on Pelletier to file a correct amended return. The majority of the government's comments (enumerated 1-6 above) were made in accordance with the terms of the plea agreement in an attempt to correct the factual representation that Bronstein had attempted to make a voluntary disclosure. 20 However, the government's comments regarding Bronstein's alleged and unrelated criminal conduct were not directed to the representation regarding voluntary disclosure or to any other factual misrepresentation made by the defendant, and were therefore beyond the limits set out in the plea agreement. Resentencing was warranted because of this breach of the plea agreement, Santobello v. New York, supra, 404 U.S. at 263, 92 S.Ct. at 499, and the trial judge erred in denying the defendant's motion. Remand for resentencing is therefore mandated. 9 21 The decision below is vacated. We remand to the district court for resentencing in light of Santobello v. New York, supra, 404 U.S. at 263, 92 S.Ct. at 499.
