Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Decided October 1, 1992No. 90-50549PublishedCited by 108 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
REINHARDT, Circuit Judge:
In this case, we consider whether the fact that a district judge has participated in plea bargaining discussions entitles a defendant to have the plea vacated on appeal. We also consider the extent to which Fed. R.Crim.P. 11 requires the district court to explain to a defendant the nature of the charges alleged in the indictment. We also examine the effect of the failure to raise those questions in the district court. Having considered these matters, we vacate appellant’s convictions and remand for further proceedings.
