U.S. v. Chapa

Ct. of Appeals dismissed defendant's appeal of his guilty plea to drug conspiracy charge where terms of said plea contained waiver of any right to appeal conviction or sentence. Ct. rejected defendant's claim that plea was involuntary on claim that both parties mistakenly believed that defendant was eligible for safety-value treatment on his sentence since Ct. noted that plea colloquy established that defendant was entering into plea with knowledge that he might not qualify for safety-valve treatment.
