Fifth Circuit: SA v. Noel Jones

 

Sufficient basis for plea to specific drug quantities, given duration of daily drug sales; sufficient basis for conspiracy plea as to buyer/seller relationship where the relationship goes on for long enough and sufficient mutual trust is established.

Court's instructions at plea colloquy did not rise to the level of plain error.

Ineffective assistance waived for not being raised below, preserved for collateral challenge.
