United States v. Christopher Jansen

Flaum, Circuit Judge.

*652 Defendant Christopher Jansen pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of tax evasion. He later sought to withdraw his guilty plea, arguing it was not "knowing and voluntary" because of ineffective assistance of counsel. The district court denied that motion, holding that Jansen's counsel was not ineffective. We affirm. On the limited issue of restitution, we remand to allow the district court to clarify that its imposition of restitution is a condition of supervised release rather than a criminal penalty.
