Does a defendant have a statutory right to appeal their sentence?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Kilman, 24 F.3d 251 (9th Cir. 1993):
The government argues that Kilman waived the right to appeal his sentence under the terms of the plea agreement. 3 Kilman does not address the waiver issue in his opening brief and did not file a reply brief. We review de novo whether a defendant waived his statutory right to appeal. United States v. Bolinger, 940 F.2d 478, 479 (9th Cir.1991).
