MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Nutter, 61 F.3d 10 (2nd Cir. 1995):
Contrary to the government's assertions, our holding is entirely consistent with United States v. Colon, 884 F.2d 1550, 1553 (2d Cir.1989), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 998, 110 S.Ct. 553, 107 L.Ed.2d 550 (1989), since this appeal is not just any "arguable claim of error in sentencing."
