What is the effect of a special parole term on a convicted criminal?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Sanchez v. U.S., 905 F.2d 1541 (9th Cir. 1990):
Sanchez did not manifest any confusion. Under the circumstances of this case, we cannot say that petitioner was prejudiced even if his attorney failed to advise him of the consequences of the special parole term. Absent any showing of prejudice, therefore, we need not remand and require the government to issue a response. See Baumann v. United States, 692 F.2d 565, 571 (9th Cir.1982).
