Sunny Emezuo v. United States
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
Decided February 6, 2004No. 02-1263PublishedCited by 22 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
CUDAHY, Circuit Judge.
Sunny Emezuo appeals the denial of his motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, in which he claims to have received ineffective assistance of counsel with respect to the proffer requirement of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(f) and U.S.S.G. § 5C1.2. Because we conclude that his proffer would have been insufficient even if it had been submitted to the government, Emezuo cannot show he suffered prejudice, and we therefore affirm.
I
