United States First Circuit

Conviction and sentence for guilty plea to being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. section 922(g)(1) are affirmed where: 1) defendant has failed to demonstrate a reasonable probability that, but for the district court's failure to advise him that he could not withdraw his plea if it did not follow the government's recommendation, he would not have entered the plea; and 2) the sentence the district court imposed was procedurally and substantively reasonable.
