show a reasonable probability that, but for the error, he would have gone to trial.

Second, whether the pattern element of USSG § 4B1.3 requires proof of planned
criminal acts that occur over at least one year, rather than weeks or months, where the
livelihood element explicitly imposess a time-based requirement of twelve months.
