United States v. Coleman, No. 14-2246 (7th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CasePursuant to a plea agreement, Defendant entered a plea of guilty to a drug conspiracy charge. The plea agreement contained a waiver of Defendant’s right to collaterally attack his conviction or sentence. The district judge did not expressly discuss the collateral-attack waiver with Coleman at the guilty-plea hearing. At sentencing, the district court imposed a term of supervised release that included “standard conditions.” The Seventh Circuit (1) affirmed the conviction, holding that the plea colloquy did not comply with Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 with respect to the collateral-attack waiver, but the omission did not affect Defendant’s substantial rights; and (2) remanded for resentencing, as certain conditions of supervised release imposed on Defendant were impermissibly vague.
