Julian Snipe v. United States

Whether the Court should hold this petition pending its decision in Hunter v. United States, No. 24-1063, and dispose of it accordingly, where the Second Circuit dismissed the criminal appeal as barred by an appellate waiver deemed to waive “all challenges,” and failed to consider contractual defenses, claims of unconstitutional and structural error that placed convictions and sentences for unadmitted murder-for-hire crimes against a second unadmitted victim outside the scope of the appellate waiver, claims sentences exceeded statutory maximums, and failed to address the government’s breach by advocacy the defendant could be convicted and sentenced for unadmitted crimes it agreed to dismiss.

Whether the Court should hold this petition pending its decision in Hunter v. United States, No. 24-1063, and dispose of it accordingly, where the district court advised the defendant at sentencing of a far less restrictive appellate waiver than the plea agreement, or that applied by the Second Circuit, and the government did not object.
