Can an appellant appeal both his conviction and his sentence?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Rzeslawski, 981 F.2d 1260 (9th Cir. 1992):

United States v. Yee Soon Shin, 953 F.2d 559, 560 (9th Cir.1992) (citations omitted) (appellant could appeal both sentence and conviction even though notice of appeal identified only the sentencing issue because government fully briefed merits of both issues); see also United States v. Walker, 601 F.2d 1051, 1058 (9th Cir.1979) ("[S]ince the appellees' brief argues fully the merits of the order of dismissal, appellees have not been prejudiced or misled by the Government's failure to specifically designate the order which is the subject of the appeal.").
