Angel Avila-Diaz v. United States
Opinion
Affirmed. 1 See Local Rule 21. 2
1
. In his motion to vacate judgment and sentence filed in the District Court the appellant challenges the validity of his guilty plea on grounds that: (1) he did not understand the proceedings against him because he was unable to speak or comprehend the English language; (2) his plea of guilty was not freely or voluntarily entered, but was entered on counsel’s promise that he would receive only a two-year sentence; and (3) counsel rendered ineffective service by assuring him of false consequences of the plea.
