Can a federal judge review a plea agreement?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Barker, 681 F.2d 589 (9th Cir. 1982):
The district judge's review of a plea agreement does not serve a parallel function. The decision to negotiate a plea bargain and seek dismissal of the indictment is within "the executive's undeniable discretion to decide not to pursue a particular prosecution any further." United States v. Myles, 430 F.Supp. 98, 101 (D.D.C.1977), aff'd 569 F.2d 161 (D.C.Cir.1978).
