Hunter v. United States · ¶9

After the agreement was reached, the District Court held a hearing to decide whether to accept Hunter's plea. To ensure that Hunter fully grasped the consequences of the agreement, the court went over each of its terms. Upon reaching the appeal waiver, the court read it aloud, explained what it meant—among other things, that “[b]asically you're agreeing to whatever sentence I impose”—and asked Hunter whether he understood. App. 11. When Hunter replied “Yes” to that and similar questions, the court deemed the plea “knowing and voluntary,” adjudged Hunter guilty of aiding and abetting wire fraud, and scheduled a sentencing hearing. Id., at 11, 14–15; see id., at 11–15.
