U.S. v. Haslam

In prosecution on drug and firearm charges, Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea, even though defendant had claimed that govt. breached said agreement by informing Dist. Ct. about facts surrounding defendant’s holding woman hostage that formed part of relevant conduct calculation. Language in plea agreement did not preclude govt. from informing Dist. Ct. about hostage incident and affirmatively allowed govt. to present negative information about defendant. Fact that defendant successfully had facts surrounding hostage incident removed from language of plea agreement did not require different result. Moreover, defendant’s plea colloquy precluded any claim that defendant did not truly understand plea agreement.
