United States Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit.

August 9, 2011.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kent R. Hart , Assistant Federal Defender ( Scott Keith Wilson , Assistant Federal Defender and Steven B. Killpack , Federal Defender, with him on the briefs), Salt Lake City, UT, for Defendant-Appellant.

Diana Hagen , Assistant United States Attorney ( Stewart C. Walz , Assistant United States Attorney and Carlie Christensen , Acting United States Attorney, with her on the brief), Salt Lake City, UT, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Before TYMKOVICH, SEYMOUR, and HOLMES, Circuit Judges.


SEYMOUR, Circuit Judge.

Robert G. Weeks pled guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud. He now argues his guilty plea was not knowing and voluntary and was the result of ineffective assistance of counsel. We consolidated his direct appeal with the appeal from the district court's denial of his § 2255 petition. We affirm Mr. Weeks' conviction on his direct appeal, but we reverse the dismissal of his § 2255 petition.

I.
