CA1: appellate waiver valid
USA v. Edelen, 07-1189. This case comes down to whether there was a valid appeal waiver. He claims that “his waiver of appellate rights was involuntary and unknowing because he entered into the plea agreement unaware of the potential six-level official-victim enhancement.” The First looks at the transcript and says that he understood what was going on. However, it also says that under United States v. Teeter, 257 F.3d 14, 24 (1st Cir. 2001), there was no miscarriage of justice.
