United States Third Circuit
US v. BARNES, 02-1002/1592
The circuit court has jurisdiction over an appeal, as a partially pending substituted 28 U.S.C. section 2255 motion does not make a conviction and sentence any less final and appealable than it otherwise would be. Ineffective assistance claim fails where the district court would have rejected offense level contentions not argued.
