The Supreme Court heard oral argument in Garza v. Idaho, a case concerning the appeal rights of defendants after entering a plea agreement. In Idaho in 2015, Gilberto Garza agreed to two plea deals. He later told his lawyer to file an appeal. The lawyer refused, due to a limited waiver of rights to appeal under the agreements and arguing that filing one would be ineffective. Mr. Garza filed suit. The Supreme Court was to resolve whether a defendant’s right to appeal is fully relinquished when taking plea agreements with these waivers.

The court announced its judgment in favor of the petitioner on February 27, 2019, reversing and remanding by a vote of 6-3. close
