Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether the plain error standard of Vonn/Dominguez Benitez applies in the context of violations of Fed.R.Crim.P. 11(b)(1)(N), where the defendant raises an omission in the guilty plea inquiry as a basis for the non-enforcement of an appeal waiver, not to vacate the guilty plea -- an issue that divides the circuits.
