032590P.pdf   01/04/2005  Randy Anderson  v.  United States
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-2590
   District of Minnesota   
Prisoner case - habeas. Counsel's failure to assert the argument that Apprendi invalidated Anderson's guilty plea was not so egregious that it deprived Anderson of his Sixth Amendment right to counsel; at the time the case was briefed on appeal, no court had interpreted Apprendi's effect on previously entered guilty pleas, and counsel's failure to anticipate the issue did not render his performance constitutionally ineffective.
