On the one hand, it has been concluded that [n]ot every violation of Rule 11 requires that the plea be set aside in a 2255 proceeding, and that a guilty plea will be set aside on collateral attack only where to not do so would result in a miscarriage of justice, or where there exists exceptional circumstances justifying such relief. Evers v. United States, 579 F.2d 71 (10th Cir. 110A, 402(e). United States v. Artis, No. The added language is made necessary by the addition of Rule 26.2 and new subdivision (i) of Rule 12, which contemplate the production of statements, including those made to a grand jury, under specified circumstances. 256, 268269, 162 N.W.2d 802, 809810 (1968), with Kruse v. State, 47 Wis.2d 460, 177 N.W.2d 322 (1970). Justices Black and Frankfurter dissented. The revision of rule 43 is designed to reflect Illinois v. Allen, 397 U.S. 337, 90 S.Ct. Note, Guilty Plea Bargaining: Compromises By Prosecutors To Secure Guilty Pleas, 112 U.Pa.L.Rev. The amendments are technical. Changes Made After Publication and Comment. This provides for the simple and convenient method of service permitted under many state codes; e.g., N.Y.C.P.A. 724 [now 3651]. A subpoena commanding attendance at a deposition must state the method for recording the testimony. 1977); United States v. Crusco, 536 F.2d 21 (2d Cir. 1302 (1952); State v. Johnson, 28 N.J. 133, 145 A.2d 313 (1958). As noted in H.R.Rep. 167, 180183 (1964); Informal Opinion No. The major argument advanced by prosecutors is the risk of danger to their witnesses if their identities are disclosed prior to trial. B. United States v. Peters, No. Codes Ann. (C) Specifying Conditions as an Alternative. 6, at 20809 (1975) [hereinafter cited Hearings II].] A few federal court decisions nonetheless established what amounted to particular federal common law rules of criminal procedure, which added to the lack of conformity in the federal system. The Senate version of the bill gives the government an independent right to discover material in the possession of the defendant. See Rule 40. The defenders argued that a defendant cannot constitutionally be compelled to disclose his witnesses. The amendment is intended to meet this need by first, requiring notice of the expert's qualifications which in turn will permit the requesting party to determine whether in fact the witness is an expert within the definition of Federal Rule of Evidence 702. (2) Ensuring That a Plea Is Voluntary. While the government normally has resources adequate to secure the information necessary for trial, there are some situations in which mutual disclosure would appear necessary to prevent the defendant from obtaining an unfair advantage. The statement must be certified by the server. This provision is new. We have not had any untoward results by following this program, having in mind that the courts will, and have, excused us from discovery where the circumstances warrant. Subd. Because Rule 45(c) directs that compliance may be commanded only as it provides, these amendments resolve a split in interpreting Rule 45's provisions for subpoenaing parties and party officers. If the government requests the specified information, and the defense complies, the defense is entitled to reciprocal discovery under an amendment to subdivision (a)(1)(E), supra. If such were the law, criminals could circulate freely from one end of the land to the other, because they could always keep ahead of an officer with the warrant. In re Kosopud (N.D. Ohio), 272 F. 330, 336. (1) In General. July 1, 1970; Mar. L. 93595, provided in part that evidence of a plea of guilty, later withdrawn, or a plea of nolo contendere, or of an offer to plead guilty or nolo contendere to the crime charged or any other crime, or of statements made in connection with any of the foregoing pleas or offers, is not admissible in any civil or criminal action, case, or proceeding against the person who made the plea or offer. (This rule was adopted with the proviso that it shall be superseded by any amendment to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure which is inconsistent with this rule.) As the Advisory Committee Note explained: Exclusion of offers to plead guilty or nolo has as its purpose the promotion of disposition of criminal cases by compromise. The amendment of Fed.R.Crim.P. What is required, in this respect, to conform to Boykin is left to future case-law development. Dec. 1, 2007; Apr. Subdivision (d) contains the provisions formerly in subdivision (c). L. 9464, effective Dec. 1, 1975, except with respect to the amendment adding subd. den., 368 U.S. 991 (1962); and United States v. Von der Heide, 169 F.Supp. Giving this advice tells a defendant the shortest mandatory sentence and also the longest possible sentence for the offense to which he is pleading guilty. Upon a defendant's request, the government must permit the defendant to inspect and to copy or photograph books, papers, documents, data, photographs, tangible objects, buildings or places, or copies or portions of any of these items, if the item is within the government's possession, custody, or control and: (i) the item is material to preparing the defense; (ii) the government intends to use the item in its case-in-chief at trial; or. Moreover, the lists must be furnished to the adversary party upon that party's request. 4(c)(4)(A) permits an officer to make a return of the arrest warrant electronically. Although this is a very logical interpretation of the present language, the amendment will avoid the necessity to engage in such analysis in order to determine the true meaning of subdivision (c)(4). The amendment addresses a gap in the current rule, which makes no provision for organizational defendants who fail to appear in response to a criminal summons. See discussion of the history of the nolo plea in North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25, 35 36 n. 8, 91 S.Ct. Compare United States v. Diggs, 304 F.2d 929 (6th Cir. (iii) the item was obtained from or belongs to the defendant. 673; United States of America for the Use of Tilo Roofing Co., Inc. v. J. Slotnik Co. (D.Conn. Upon arrest, an officer possessing the original or a duplicate original warrant must show it to the defendant. Dec. 1, 1999; Apr. (f) Admissibility or Inadmissibility of a Plea, Plea Discussions, and Related Statements. In Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742, 752 753, 90 S.Ct. Oct. 20, 1949; Apr. The proposed amendments to Rule 11, particularly those relating to the plea negotiating procedure, have generated much comment and criticism. In addition, as under Rule 34(b), Rule 45(d)(1)(B) is amended to provide that if the subpoena does not specify the form or forms for electronically stored information, the person served with the subpoena must produce electronically stored information in a form or forms in which it is usually maintained or in a form or forms that are reasonably usable. Courts have construed the old rule as making disclosure discretionary with the judge. SCOPE OF RULES; FORM OF ACTION Rule 1. 360, 378 (1978). 748, 506 U.S. 255 (1993). A non-party required to produce documents or materials is protected against significant expense resulting from involuntary assistance to the court. (2) Subdivision (e) provides a plea agreement procedure designed to give recognition to the propriety of plea discussions; to bring the existence of a plea agreement out into the open in court; and to provide methods for court acceptance or rejection of a plea agreement. See generally Crosby v. United States, 113 S.Ct. 636(c)(5) ] (Abrogated Apr. 91, pt. 28 U.S.C. 18 (the term organization includes a person other than an individual). Under the amended rule, in all cases in which a summons is being served on an organization, a copy of the summons must be mailed to the organization. With increased use of both scientific and nonscientific expert testimony, one of counsel's most basic discovery needs is to learn that an expert is expected to testify. 1971); 8 S.J. 865, 891892 (1964); Comment, Official Inducements to Plead Guilty: Suggested Morals for a Marketplace, 32 U.Chi.L.Rev. 1991) (noting distinction between presence of defendant at modification of sentencing proceedings and those hearings that impose new sentence after original sentence has been set aside). 921 (1961); Moran, Federal Criminal Rules Changes: Aid or Illusion for the Indigent Defendant? Subdivision (e)(6) is taken from rule 410, Rules of Evidence for United States Courts and Magistrates (Nov. 1971). The phrase valid reason was changed to good cause, a phrase with which lawyers are more familiar. By comparison, critical to a type (A) or (C) agreement is that the defendant receive the contemplated charge dismissal or agreed-to sentence. Subd. Dec. 1, 1989; Apr. The Senate version of the bill eliminates these provisions, thereby making the names and addresses of a party's witnesses nondiscoverable. Illustrative are: where the judge's compliance with subdivision (c)(1) was not absolutely complete, in that some essential element of the crime was not mentioned, but the defendant's responses clearly indicate his awareness of that element, see United States v. Coronado, supra; where the judge's compliance with subdivision (c)(2) was erroneous in part in that the judge understated the maximum penalty somewhat, but the penalty actually imposed did not exceed that indicated in the warnings, see United States v. Peters, supra; and where the judge completely failed to comply with subdivision (c)(5), which of course has no bearing on the validity of the plea itself, cf. Dec. 1, 2000; Apr. By personally interrogating the defendant, not only will the judge be better able to ascertain the plea's voluntariness, but he will also develop a more complete record to support his determination in a subsequent post-conviction attack. Rule 12 also prescribes the consequences which follow from a failure to make a pretrial motion at the time fixed by the court. (1) For a Trial, Hearing, or Deposition. (ii) by any other means that gives notice, including one that is: (b) undertaken by a foreign authority in response to a letter rogatory, a letter of request, or a request submitted under an applicable international agreement; or. See United States Attorneys Statistical Report, Fiscal Year 1964, p. 1. ABA Standards Relating to Pleas of Guilty 1.7 (Approved Draft, 1968). Amendments Proposed by the Supreme Court. 101, 103. The amendments are intended to address two specific issues. The plea of nolo contendere has always existed in the Federal courts, Hudson v. United States, 272 U.S. 451; United States v. Norris, 281 U.S. 619. A party receiving a discovery request who asserts a privilege or protection but fails to disclose that claim is at risk of waiving the privilege or protection. This results in a waste of prosecutorial and judicial resources, and causes delay in the trial of other cases, contrary to the objectives underlying the Speedy Trial Act of 1974, 18 U.S.C. No. 2. Mitchell v. Dexter, 244 F. 926 (C.C.A. 30, 2007, eff. Rather, this failure bears upon the admissibility of defendant's answers pursuant to subdivision (e)(6) in a later prosecution for perjury or false statement. 1276 (1966); Fla.Stat.Ann. 1970); Rules of Evidence for United States Courts and Magistrates, rule 803(22) (Nov. 1971). The provision that the arresting officer need not have the warrant in his possession at the time of the arrest is rendered necessary by the fact that a fugitive may be discovered and apprehended by any one of many officers. Discovery of statements and confessions is in line with what the Supreme Court has described as the better practice (Cicenia v. LaGay, 357 U.S. 504, 511 (1958)), and with the law in a number of states. 182, 55 N.E.2d 430 (1943). In the end, the Committee believed that, on balance, it would be preferable to remove the provision and reduce the risk of pretrial disclosure. Under this amendment, the person subpoenaed may obtain the protection afforded by any of the orders permitted under Rule 30(b) or Rule 45(b). Then, if the attorney for a person subject to a subpoena is authorized to practice in the court where the motion was made, the attorney may file papers and appear on the motion as an officer of the issuing court. If the agent is one authorized by statute and the statute so requires, a copy must also be mailed to the organization. It might lead the defendant to believe that he would not receive a fair trial, were there a trial before the same judge. Changes Made After Publication and Comment. L. 9464 amended subds. L. 9464, 3(20)(28), July 31, 1975, 89 Stat. In allowing counsel to issue the subpoena, the rule is merely a recognition of present reality. Conference Committee Notes, House Report No. The Jencks Act, 18 U.S.C. The use of the plea is recognized by the Probation Act, 18 U.S.C. That subdivision provides: Evidence of a plea of guilty, later withdrawn, or a plea of nolo contendere, or of an offer to plead guilty or nolo contendere to the crime charged or any other crime, or of statements made in connection with any of the foregoing pleas or offers, is not admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding against the person who made the plea or offer. 961. The impact is greatest when new grounds for setting aside guilty pleas are approved because the vast majority of criminal convictions result from such pleas. This is not, however, intended to abrogate the government's right to comment generally upon the defendant's failure to call witnesses in an appropriate case, other than the defendant's failure to testify. Because this new legislation contemplates that the amount of the restitution to be ordered will be ascertained later in the sentencing process, this amendment to Rule 11(c)(1) merely requires that the defendant be told of the court's power to order restitution. 364 U.S. 874 (1960); People v. Johnson, 356 Mich. 619, 97 N.W.2d 739 (1959); State v. Johnson, supra; People v. Stokes, 24 Miss.2d 755, 204 N.Y.Supp.2d 827 (Ct.Gen.Sess. State cases have indicated that disclosure of a list of defense witnesses does not violate the defendant's privilege against self-incrimination. The Committee determined to expand upon the incomplete listing in the current rule of the elements of the maximum possible penalty and any mandatory minimum penalty to include advice as to the maximum or minimum term of imprisonment, forfeiture, fine, and special assessment, in addition to the two types of maximum and minimum penalties presently enumerated: restitution and supervised release. The defendant must be afforded an opportunity to withdraw his plea and must be advised that if he persists in his guilty plea or plea of nolo contendere, the disposition of the case may be less favorable to him than that contemplated by the plea agreement. Subdivision (a)(1)(C) is also amended to add the word photographs to the objects previously listed. 779 ABA Professional Ethics Committee (A judge should not be a party to advance arrangements for the determination of sentence, whether as a result of a guilty plea or a finding of guilt based on proof.), 51 A.B.A.J. The right to be present at court, although important, is not absolute. 1941) 4 Fed.Rules Serv. If necessary for effective enforcement, Rule 45(f) authorizes the issuing court to transfer its order after the motion is resolved.

The requirement of approval by the court is most appropriate, as it ensures, for example, that the defendant is not allowed to take an appeal on a matter which can only be fully developed by proceeding to trial; cf. Three changes are made in the second sentence. The Federal Rules of Evidence, referred to in subds. L. Rev. The amendment to Rule 16(a)(1)(A) expands slightly government disclosure to the defense of statements made by the defendant. Cf. Aug. 1, 1987; Pub. [It is apparent, though not explicitly stated, that Rule 11(e) contemplates that the plea agreement may bind the defendant to do more than just plead guilty or nolo contendere. 61, at 4143 (1974) [hereinafter cited as Hearing I].] The result was an incomplete patchwork of state and federal law that the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts did little to fill in, despite seeming authorization under the Judiciary Act to do so. (c)(1). 1963). This is not, however, intended to abrogate the defendant's right to comment generally upon the government's failure to call witnesses in an appropriate case. It also means that the more elaborate and lengthy procedures of present Rule 11, again as compared with the version applied in McCarthy, make it more apparent than ever that a guilty plea is not a mere gesture, a temporary and meaningless formality reversible at the defendant's whim, but rather a grave and solemn act, which is accepted only with care and discernment. United States v. Barker, 514 F.2d 208 (D.C.Cir.1975), quoting from Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742 (1970). Fed.R.Ev. For an example of a use of a protective order in state practice, see People v. Lopez, 60 Cal.2d 223, 32 Cal.Rptr. 385, 477 P.2d 409 (1970), the court said: [T]he basis of the bargain should be disclosed to the court and incorporated in the record. 3500. 11, 1997, eff. [3] Early Supreme Court cases also fully endorsed congressional authority to enact rules of procedure,[4] and declined the opportunity to directly claim such authority for the courts under Article III of the United States Constitution. The Committee recognized the intangible benefits and impact of requiring a defendant to appear before a federal judicial officer in a federal courtroom, and what is lost when virtual presence is substituted for actual presence. In addition, the defendant often lacks means of procuring this information on his own. Perhaps the most controversial amendments to this rule were those dealing with witness lists. The rule, which is in the interest of defendants in such situations, leaves it discretionary with the court to permit defendants in misdemeanor cases to absent themselves and, if so, to determine in what types of misdemeanors and to what extent. Subpoenas are essential to obtain discovery from nonparties. 1255 (1942); ABA Standards Relating to Pleas of Guilty 1.1(a) and (b), Commentary at 1518 (Approved Draft, 1968). L.Rev. (a)(4). 3162(a)(2); Fed.R.Crim.P.12(b). These subdivisions are designed to satisfy the requirements of understanding waiver set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 89 S.Ct. 1967), holding that in the absence of a showing of good cause the government cannot be required to disclose defendant's prior statements in advance of trial. L. 107273, div. For the concern with finality served by the limitation on collateral attack has special force with respect to convictions based on guilty pleas. See Note to Rule 1, supra. 1964). 598 (1953). Rule 11 provides that a defendant may plead guilty, not guilty, or nolo contendere. The decision to take a citizen into custody is a very important one with far-reaching consequences. 11, governing pleas in federal courts, now makes clear that the sentencing judge must develop, on the record, the factual basis for the plea, as, for example, by having the accused describe the conduct that gave rise to the charge. An inquiry might be made of the defendant, of the attorneys for the government and the defense, of the presentence report when one is available, or by whatever means is appropriate in a specific case. 401708 (1955); Utah Code Ann. The ABA Standards Relating to Pleas of Guilty 1.4(c)(iii) (Approved Draft, 1968) recommend that the defendant be informed that he may be subject to additional punishment if the offense charged is one for which a different or additional punishment is authorized by reason of the defendant's previous conviction. Subdivision (e)(1) specifies that the attorney for the government and the attorney for the defendant or the defendant when acting pro se may participate in plea discussions. Thus, the basic premise underlying the arguments against the proposed rule is the notion that only the prosecutor can be trusted to act responsibly in deciding whether a summons or a warrant shall issue. ABA Standards Relating to Pleas of Guilty 1.1(b) Commentary at 1618 (Approved Draft, 1968). On motion to compel discovery or for a protective order, the person responding must show that the information is not reasonably accessible because of undue burden or cost.
