Question Presented (from Petition)
When a criminal defendant demonstrates that, but for the plain error raised on appeal, his sentence as to each of two separate counts would be different, does he meet the requirement that the claimed error affects his substantial rights even where the combined sentence of the two consecutive sentences would likely remain the same?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether a criminal defendant meets the substantial rights prong of plain error review when sentence differences on separate counts would change absent the error but total consecutive sentence remains likely the same
