Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
EDMONDSON, Circuit Judge:
Defendant-Appellant Patrick Pierre challenges his convictions — based on a guilty plea — for immigration offenses, alleging violation of his statutory and constitutional rights to a speedy trial. Because Pierre’s guilty plea was not a conditional one, we cannot weigh the merits of his speedy trial arguments. But because we conclude that Pierre’s guilty plea was not knowingly and voluntarily entered, we deny the government’s motion to dismiss this appeal; we reverse Pierre’s convictions and remand this case to the district court.
