United States v. Williams, No. 21-1532 (1st Cir. 2022)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed the judgment of the district court convicting Defendant of one count of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and cocaine base after a traffic stop near Wells, Maine, holding that the district court did not commit plain error in accepting Defendant's guilty plea.
On appeal, Defendant argued that the district court impermissibly failed to advise him that he was giving up the right to file pretrial motions at his Rule 11 hearing and that this Court should reverse the denial of his motion to withdraw his guilty plea. The First Circuit affirmed, holding that Defendant's claim on appeal was meritless.
