101864P.pdf   02/16/2011  Joshua Ackerland  v.  United States
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-1864
   U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Fargo   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Murphy,
   Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - habeas. Government's notice of appeal was timely as to the underlying judgment vacating Ackerland's sentence; the "illegal sentence exception" to an otherwise valid waiver of post-conviction rights did not permit Ackerland to challenge the computation of his criminal history score under the sentencing guidelines in this post-conviction proceeding. Order vacated and case remanded for further proceedings.
