The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Logsdon, 967 F.2d 594 (9th Cir. 1992):
He mistakenly relies on United States v. Fine, 946 F.2d 650 (9th Cir.1991). Fine differs from this case, for it involved four separate, distinct schemes. Id. at 651. Fine pleaded guilty to one count in exchange for the dismissal of the other three counts. The district court nevertheless considered the conduct alleged in the schemes described in the dismissed counts. We reversed, finding that this violated the plea agreement. Id. at 652.
