Anatole Mbe v. United States

IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 24-1056 · judgment February 20, 2025


GVR'd · June 29, 2026

Question presented

Did petitioner’s appeal waiver as part of his plea agreement preclude an appeal challenging the amount imposed for restitution on grounds that the government failed to provide a reasonably accurate estimate of the amount of the restitution order to which he was exposed, since the government only provided a maximum restitution amount, and/or on grounds that the district court’s errors in calculating the restitution sum rendered the sentence illegal?
