United States v. Higgins, No. 12-30818 (5th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his sentence after pleading guilty to receipt of child pornography. Because defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal, he was bound by the obligations of the plea agreement; defendant's fifteen-year mandatory minimum claim fell within the waiver provision and was waived on appeal; and defendant's conditions-of-supervised-release arguments fell within the appeal waiver and were waived on appeal. Accordingly, the court dismissed the appeal.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on January 20, 2014.
