Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED [41] Can United States v. Watts stand in light of recent holdings in Haymond v. United States? [2] Does a waiver of appeal, in light of Garza v. Idaho, require appellate court to reach merits of appeal to determine, on the record, whether claims fall outside the bounds of the waiver? [3] Does counsel's suborned perjury, created by contradictions between stipulated facts in plea agreement and objections to presentence investigation report ("PSR"), create an inherent conflict of interest requiring counsel's withdrawal from the case rather than allowing him to accept a retainer for a direct appeal allowing him to attempt to hide his suborned perjury?
