U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Smith and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - Habeas. Roundtree's claim that his attorney provided
ineffective assistance by failing to advise him of the mandatory nature of
the life sentence is remanded to the district court for an evidentiary
hearing to determine whether counsel advised Roundtree that 21 U.S.C. Sec.
841(b)(1)(C) mandated a life sentence in Roundtree's circumstances and, if
not, whether this failure prejudiced Roundtree.
