United States v. Weeks, No. 09-4171 (10th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this Case
Defendant Robert Weeks pled guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud. On appeal to the Tenth Circuit, Defendant argued that his plea was not knowing and voluntary and was the result of ineffective assistance of counsel. The Court consolidated Defendant's direct appeal with an appeal from a district court's denial of his petition for post-conviction relief. Upon review, the Court affirmed Defendant's conviction, but reversed the dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief. The Court found that the district court dismissed Defendant's post-conviction relief petition without an evidentiary hearing. Accordingly, the Court remanded the case back to the district court for further proceedings.
