United States Supreme Court
Garza v. Idaho, 17–1026
Held that a defendant who had, in the course of pleading guilty, signed what is often called an appeal waiver was entitled to the presumption of prejudice recognized in Roe v. Flores-Ortega, 528 U.S. 470 (2000). Flores-Ortega addressed what happens when an attorney's deficient performance costs a defendant an appeal that the defendant would have otherwise pursued. Justice Sotomayor delivered the U.S. Supreme Court's opinion in a 6-3 decision.
