The 14th Nubian Vault construction season has begun, and it will be a crucial one for the Association La Voute Nubienne. As our director Thomas Granier pointed out, the AVN bus is now ready and functioning in all its main component parts: the steering wheel (the local teams, increasingly composed by local employees in their managerial roles), the engine (the tested and proven efficient method for kick-starting the Nubian Vault market), the gasoline (the commitment and diligence of the dozens of employees and volunteers, in France and Africa), the passengers (the masons and clients, whose number and satisfaction is growing steadily). Now is the time for AVN to shift to turbo speed. Before explaining this accelerated approach and how it could dramatically increase NV production, we would like to highlight the results obtained during the last season 2012/2013.
Summary of Overall Results & The Consequent Impact
During 2012, the program faced some exogenous challenges: the Malian political instability and the gold rush in Burkina Faso among others, reduced the availability of masons and extension agents. On the other hand, some important assets emerged: a notable reinforcement of the capacities of local managers, the first training academies for masons and key-persons and the increased autonomy of regional teams. These factors supported the production and allowed to achieve the quasi-totality of the targets set at the beginning of season.
Since 2000, some 14,000 people have benefited from the 1,943 NVs built in 406 localities by 270 NV masons. This in turn has saved 3,846 tons of CO2 and 2,642 trees and has helped to keep nearly 1.5 million € in local communities. AVN has 5 employees and 1 intern in France and 2 Volontaires de Solidarité Internationale (VSI) and 33 employees in Africa (Regional and National Coordinators, Administrative and Financial Managers, Office Agents, Regional and National Production Managers, and Extension Agents).
The quality of our program has been recognized by several international institutions. In the last two years alone, we have been awarded with the Dubai International Award for Best Practices to Improve the Living Environment 2013 and we have been named Entrepreneurs of the Year 2012 for Africa by the Schwab Foundation; we were the semi-finalist for the Buckminster Fuller Challenge and Thomas Granier was made a Knight of the French Order of Merit on May 15th, in recognition of his tireless work in promoting sustainable and affordable housing in Africa. These recognitions join the several other awards obtained in the preceding years.
Future Strategies and Objectives
With the passage of time, it has become increasingly clear that the best way to disseminate the NV technique as fast as possible for the largest number of beneficiaries possible is to involve local communities and organizations at each phase of our work. Not only the NV technique, but also the dissemination strategy needs to be adopted and managed by the local population. With this purpose in mind, we are in the process of establishing a number of field partnerships with local groups: (community based organizations, farmers' cooperatives, local NGOs and municipal authorities), in order to share with them our techniques and strategies, and to do the dissemination work in unison.
Furthermore, the forthcoming opening of the programme in Ghana gives us the chance, given the better financial conditions and the higher maturity of political class with respect to the countries we operated so far, to involve local and national institutions from the beginning. For the first time, the "Earth Roofs for the Sahel" could be a publicly sponsored programme, implemented in collaboration with the public agencies of the beneficiary country.
Last but not least, from having been focused exclusively on the diffusion of a building technique in rural areas, AVN programme is evolving into a comprehensive development programme pivoted on the NV concept. In partnership with specialized organizations and professional consultants, we are designing and implementing complementary projects: micro-credit for housing, capacity building and formalization of NV enterprises, NV for agriculture and livestock, NV for re-housing of dislocated families and NV in urban and semi-urban settlements.
These three factors combined could certainly be great "turbo charge " for the AVN bus. Internal deployment through the involvement of local civic society organizations, geographical extension (Ghana and Benin soon, but in the next years Niger, Sudan, Mauritania, Zambia...) and associated complementary projects, have the potential to increase the pace at which the technique will spread. If we also take into account, that once the technique has been assimilated in a certain area, it continues to spread autonomously, we can be confident of achieving our long-term ambition: by to 2025, 5% of Sahelian people will live in, have built or used a Nubian Vault.
In order to achieve this ambitious target, AVN relies on the considerable number of donations that you, our social investors, are making. We thank you all for your contributions to date, and we hope that your continued generosity will enable us to benefit many more poor people, providing them with decent housing and good jobs, at the same time mitigating the impact of climate change.

If you are like most business owners or managers, there are gaps in Your Online Marketing – whether you like it or not. What do Your Competitors have that You don't?
Online marketing is a moving target, the rules of the game change rapidly. You have likely heard of Google's Panda and Penguin updates and you may or may not fully understand how these critters impact your business – or have already impacted your business. Google loves to convey warm and fuzzy personas (just a bunch of beer drinking, fun loving, foosball playing nerds, jockeying to take over the world!) , but if you are not totally on top of Google algorithm changes, sooner or later your website's traffic figures are going to fall out of bed.
The truth is, these Google algorithm changes are Google's effort to provide better quality search results for their users. Google is improving the results they provide their users daily, and the result of these changes is what worked yesterday doesn't necessarily work today. You may have had an SEO provider achieve good or even exceptional results in 2011 and that same provider Got Your Website Crushed in 2012.
So why are some websites unharmed? What are the top ranking sites doing differently?
Enter Competitor GAP Analysis. There is no single answer to the questions above. The holes in your online marketing ARE your opportunity. Discover them and profit. By systematically spying on the top players in your industry and learning which keywords they spend money on for PPC and for which keywords they rank, and by discovering the keywords for which your website has a mediocre (better than nothing!) ranking, we can intelligently position your website.
"Intelligent positioning sounds pretty smart—what is it?"
If we take a basket of the top competitors in your online market and we look at ALL the keywords they rank for in Google, plus the keywords which they spend money on through Google Adwords, we discover a sort of "Sweet Spot" whereby we know EXACTLY what changes need to be made to your site, to rank on top for all of them.
"Whoa now, hold your horses, SEO and Internet marketing take a long time, don't they?"
We are willing to guarantee businesses that perform a proper GAP analysis will see significant increases in traffic and lead generation over a given time period – depending on your situation, maybe 6 months, maybe 3 months, or maybe 12-18. Let's be serious, some people's websites are Pinto's and others are more like space ships and it goes without saying that it's tougher to get a Pinto off the ground. We can't provide the SAME GUARANTEE to everyone, but we are willing to provide Custom Guarantees for All business owners who perform our discovery process and GAP analysis.
"Oh yeah? Give me an example then…"
If we are able to "see under the hood" and discover the gaps in your website and online market, we might be in a position to guarantee a 25-50% increase in traffic within 6 months or we'll work for free until we hit the target. Your situation may be different. It may be that we can only increase your traffic 15%, or perhaps we can increase traffic by 150%. It all depends on your unique situation – how good or bad your website, copy, social media and off-page SEO are. A GAP analysis will shed light on the situation.

United States District Court, E.D. California
March 26, 2014
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff/Respondent,v.JASDEV SINGH, Defendant/Petitioner. No. 1:12-cv-01628-AWI
ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO VACATE, SET ASIDE, OR CORRECT SENTENCE PURSUANT TO 28 U.S.C. § 225 (Document #2255)
ANTHONY W. ISHII, Senior District Judge.
This matter arises from the criminal conviction of Defendant/Petitioner JASDEV SINGH ("Petitioner"). Petitioner is currently incarcerated at the Adams County Correctional Complex ("ACCC") and is proceeding in this matter in propria persona. Petitioner brings a motion to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 2255. For the following reasons, Petitioner's motion is DENIED without an evidentiary hearing.
In 2008, Petitioner and others were indicted for their apparent involvement in an international drug trafficking operation. Doc. 56; see Doc. 1. Petitioner is an alien lawfully present in the United States. Doc. 478 at 7:22-23. Petitioner was charged under a Third Superseding Indictment as follows: Count 1 - Conspiracy to Distribute and to Possess with the Intent to Distribute Cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. Sections 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(A), and 846; Count 2 - Attempted Possession with Intent to Distribute Cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. Sections 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(A), and 846; and a Criminal Forfeiture Allegation pursuant to 21 U.S.C. Section 853 for the forfeiture of U.S. currency involved or intended to be involved in the other charged violations. Doc. 56.
Petitioner entered into a plea agreement wherein he agreed to plead guilty to Count 1 and admit to the forfeiture. Doc. 139 at 3:3-18. In return, the government agreed to dismiss Count 2. Doc. 5:12-16. On June 5, 2009, Petitioner entered a plea of guilty to Count 1 (a felony) and admitted to the forfeiture. Doc. 140; Doc. 356 at 21:16-19, 21:25-22:7. The Court[1] engaged in a colloquy with Petitioner prior to accepting his guilty plea to establish that he understood the contents of the plea agreement and that his plea of guilty was both knowing and voluntary. Doc. 356 at 5:20-21:15. Petitioner's plea was accepted by the Court. Doc. 356 at 22:18-20.
Petitioner filed a motion to dismiss on July 23, 2010. Doc. 372. The present motion describes the grounds for Petitioner's motion to dismiss as the denial of "[Petitioner's] Sixth Amendment right to counsel and due process of law based upon facts which were discovered (subsequent to the entry of the plea)." Doc. 477 at 4.[2] The motion to dismiss was subsequently withdrawn. Doc. 468 at 5:13-18.
Defense counsel submitted a Sentencing Memorandum, apparently after "settlement discussions" with the government, which outlined the following: defense counsel would withdraw the motion to dismiss, defense counsel would request a sentence of 80 months imprisonment without objection by the government, the government would request a prison term of 87 months, and the government would join defense counsel's request that the Court recommend Petitioner participate in a five hundred (500) hour drug treatment program.[3] Doc. 445.
Petitioner was sentenced on July 11, 2011, to a term of 84 months incarceration followed by 60 months supervised release. Doc. 446, 447 at 2-3. Petitioner was ordered to pay a fine of $2, 000 and a special assessment of $100. Doc. 447 at 5. The Court recommended incarceration at the facility in Lompoc, California, and participation in a Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program ("RDAP"). Doc. 447 at 2.
Petitioner was incarcerated at ACCC, a "low security" level facility in Mississippi. Doc. 477 at 7-8. BOP apparently categorized Petitioner with a Public Safety Factor ("PSF") for Deportable Aliens.[4] An immigration detainer was issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") on December 7, 2011. Doc. 477 at 7.
Petitioner claims that he and defense counsel attempted to "mitigate" his PSF designation and incarceration at ACCC by writing letters to BOP and ICE. Doc. 477 at 7-9. Copies of those letters were attached to Petitioner's motion as exhibits.
Prior to filing this motion, Petitioner filed a complaint against the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") that asserts claims pursuant to the Privacy Act and seeks to amend his PSF classification. Doc. 1 (1:12-cv-00498-AWI-SKO); see also Doc. 38 (1:12-cv-00498-AWI-SKO) (First Amended Complaint). The factual allegations in that complaint largely track the allegations made in support of the present motion.
This motion brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 2255 was filed October 2, 2012. Doc. 477. It has been fully briefed by Petitioner and the government. See Doc. 477; see Docs. 482-484; see Doc. 493.
Section 2255 provides, in pertinent part:
A prisoner in custody under sentence of a court established by Act of Congress claiming the right to be released upon the ground that the sentence was imposed in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States... may move the court which imposed the sentence to vacate, set aside or correct the sentence.
28 U.S.C. § 2255. Habeas relief is available to correct errors of jurisdiction and constitutional error but a general "error of law does not provide a basis for collateral attack unless the claimed error constituted a fundamental defect which inherently results in a complete miscarriage of justice." United States v. Addonizio , 442 U.S. 178, 185 (1979). Courts must "construe pro se habeas filing liberally." Laws v. Lamarque , 351 F.3d 919, 924 (9th Cir. 2003). Under Section 2255, "a district court must grant a hearing to determine the validity of a petition brought under that section, [u]nless the motions and the files and records of the case conclusively show that the prisoner is entitled to no relief.'" United States v. Blaylock , 20 F.3d 1458, 1465 (9th Cir. 1994) (quoting 28 U.S.C. § 2255). The court may deny a hearing if the movant's allegations, viewed against the record, fail to state a claim for relief or "are so palpably incredible or patently frivolous as to warrant summary dismissal." United States v. McMullen , 98 F.3d 1155, 1159 (9th Cir. 1996) (internal quotations omitted). To earn the right to a hearing, therefore, the movant must make specific factual allegations which, if true, would entitle him to relief. McMullen , 98 F.3d at 1159. Mere conclusory statements in a Section 2255 motion are insufficient to require a hearing. United States v. Hearst , 638 F.2d 1190, 1194 (9th Cir. 1980).
Petitioner asserts in his motion that he was denied due process and effective assistance of counsel. Doc. 477 at 3. Specifically, Petitioner maintains that his Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights were violated "when the Government... breached the plea agreement when it affirmatively agreed with the [BOP], to categorize [Petitioner] with a [PSF] for Deportable Aliens, because this position was fundamentally inconsistent with the Government's assurances that in exchange for pleading guilty, [Petitioner] would be deemed non-deportable." Doc. 477 at 3 (footnote omitted). Petitioner claims that during the course of the criminal proceedings it was represented to him that he would not be subject to deportation. Doc. 477 at 3, 5-6.
Petitioner contends that "his non-deportable status" "was of particular concern to enter a plea of guilty and withdraw his meritorious Motion to Dismiss." Doc. 477 at 6. Petitioner claims that
the quid pro quo from [Petitioner's] point of view and understanding... was that in addition to the negotiated term of incarceration, was his non-deportable status in order to: (1) be placed in a minimum security prison; (2) participate in the RDAP; (3) participate in a [Residential Reentry Program ("RRC")]; and, (4) based on [Petitioner's] family commitments and responsibilities hoped on [Petitioner's] family's behalf be reunited at the earliest possible time, based on the credit he would receive for participating in the aforesaid programs.
Doc. 477 at 6 (emphasis in original).
According to Petitioner, the government had an obligation to ensure that BOP did not classify Petitioner with a PSF of Deportable Aliens, and its failure to do so was a breach of the plea agreement. See Doc. 477 at 3, 6-7. Petitioner asserts that, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3621(e), a Deportable Alien PSF designation prevents a minimum security facility designation for the inmate and prohibits participation in the RDAP and RRC programs. Doc. 477 at 7. In Petitioner's view, he was entitled by the plea agreement to participate in the RDAP and RRC programs and to receive credit from these programs that would shorten his term of incarceration. See Doc. 477 at 6-7. As a remedy, Petitioner's motion provides as follows:
Accordingly, [Petitioner] respectfully requests that the Court vacate the sentence and resentence [Petitioner] more in compliance with the sentence he would have served if the Government, pursuant to its assurances, had ensured that the [BOP] had not deemed [Petitioner] with a PSF of Deportable Aliens; resulting in, including, but not limited to, (1) prohibited from being placed in a minimum security prison; (2) prohibited from participating in the RDAP; (3) prohibited from participating in a RRC; (4) would be forced to remain in prison beyond expiration of his term while awaiting deportation proceedings; and, (5) prohibited from being transferred to a facility closer to the family.
Doc. 477 at 4 (emphasis added).
In its answer, the government argues that Petitioner waived his right to collaterally attack his conviction and sentence as part of the plea agreement. Doc. 482 at 2-3. Petitioner's plea agreement contained a waiver provision, which states:
(g) The defendant understands that the law gives him a right to appeal his conviction and sentence. The defendant waives any right to appeal his conviction and sentence and any right he may have to bring any other post-conviction attack on his conviction and sentence. He specifically agrees not to file a motion under 28 U.S.C. [Sections] 2255 or 2241 attacking his conviction and sentence.
Doc. 139 at 4:4-10. The government contends that the record demonstrates Petitioner made a knowing and voluntary waiver of his rights. Doc. 482 at 5. Further, the government maintains that the plea agreement contains no statement concerning Petitioner's deportability and states that "no threats, promises or representations have been made, nor agreement reached, other than those set forth in this Agreement." Doc. 482 at 3; see Doc. 139 at 10:19-23 ("10. Entire Agreement. [¶]The defendant and his attorney acknowledge that no threats, promises or representations have been made, nor agreement reached, other than those set forth in this Agreement, to induce the defendant to plead guilty." (underline in original)). The government also contends that the record demonstrates Petitioner was informed that he "would be subject to deportation if convicted." Doc. 482 at 3; see Doc. 478 at 7:22-25.
A. Waiver
The government's argument that Petitioner waived his right to bring a Section 2255 motion will be addressed first. A defendant's waiver of the right to challenge his or her conviction or sentence is generally enforceable if (1) the waiver encompasses the present motion, and (2) the waiver is knowingly and voluntarily made. United States v. Harris , 628 F.3d 1203, 1205 (9th Cir. 2011) (quoting United States v. Charles , 581 F.3d 927, 931 (9th Cir. 2009)). The waiver provision found in Petitioner's plea agreement specifically waives the right to bring a Section 2255 motion. Doc. 139 at 4:8-10.
The record is also clear that Petitioner's acceptance of the plea agreement and the waiver provision were made knowingly and voluntarily. The Court questioned Petitioner on whether he had read and understood the plea agreement before signing it and whether he had an opportunity to discuss the agreement with defense counsel to his satisfaction. Doc. 356 at 7:22-9:3. The Court then reviewed each provision of the agreement with Petitioner to make sure he understood the agreement. See Doc. 356 at 9:4-6. Among the portions of the plea agreement specifically reviewed by the Court was the waiver provision. Petitioner acknowledged he understood the waiver and that he agreed to it. Doc. 356 at 11:2-12. The Court specifically found that Petitioner was capable of entering an informed plea and that his guilty plea was knowing and voluntary. Doc. 356 at 21:10-13. The record demonstrates that Petitioner knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to bring a Section 2255 motion when he entered the plea agreement.
However, Petitioner now claims a denial of due process and effective assistance of counsel. Doc. 477 at 3. Petitioner argues that his guilty plea and waiver of rights were uninformed and/or involuntary because he was not aware of the possibility of removal. In fact, his motion states that "[Petitioner's] understanding was that there would be no immigration consequences." Doc. 477 at 13.
A waiver cannot bar a claim that relates to the validity of the waiver itself. United States v. Abarca , 985 F.2d 1012, 1014 (9th Cir. 1993). A claim that an unfulfilled promise made by the government induced the defendant's acceptance of a plea agreement may implicate the agreement's voluntariness. See United States v. Quan , 789 F.2d 711, 713 (9th Cir. 1986). Likewise, a claim that ineffective assistance of counsel resulted in a defendant unknowingly or involuntarily entering into a plea agreement implicates the validity of the plea agreement itself, and such a claim is not waived. See Washington v. Lambert , 422 F.3d 864, 870-71 (9th Cir. 2006); (discussing Jones v. United States , 167 F.3d 1142, 1145-46 (7th Cir. 1999)); United States v. Pruitt , 32 F.3d 431, 433 (9th Cir. 1994). Here, Petitioner's due process and effective assistance of counsel claims are without merit and the Court must deem the waiver valid and enforceable.
B. Due Process
The Ninth Circuit has described the "legal principles governing the enforcement of plea agreements" as follows:
"[W]hen a plea rests in any significant degree on a promise or agreement of the prosecutor, so that it can be said to be a part of the inducement or consideration, such promise must be fulfilled." Santobello v. New York , 404 U.S. 257, 262 (1971). In determining whether a plea agreement has been broken, courts look to "what was reasonably understood by [the defendant] when he entered his plea of guilty.'" United States v. Arnett , 628 F.2d 1162, 1164 (9th Cir. 1979) (quoting United States v. Crusco , 536 F.2d 21, 27 (3d Cir. 1976)). If disputed, the terms of the agreement will be determined by objective standards. Arnett , 628 F.2d at 1164. The government will be held to "the literal terms of the agreement." United States v. Garcia , 519 F.2d 1343, 1344-45 (9th Cir. 1975).
United States v. Clark , 781 F.2d 730, 731 (9th Cir. 1986) (quoting United States v. Travis , 735 F.2d 1129, 1132 (9th Cir. 1984)); see United States v. Quan , 789 F.2d 711, 713 (9th Cir. 1986). "If the prosecutor fails to perform his side of the plea agreement, the guilty plea becomes involuntary, and the ensuing sentence subject to collateral attack." Quan , 789 F.2d at 714 (citing Clark , 781 F.2d at 731.
1. Promise of Non-Deportability
Petitioner claims that the government's promise that he would be non-deportable induced him to accept the agreement and plead guilty. Doc. 477 at 3, 6. However, the record is completely devoid of any promise or assurance that Petitioner would be deemed non-deportable or that his immigration status had anything to do with his guilty plea. The plea agreement itself contains no provision respecting Petitioner's immigration status, let alone a promise on behalf of the government that Petitioner would be deemed non-deportable. The integration clause makes it clear that nothing outside the written plea agreement was part of the bargain. Doc. 139 at 10:19-23.
Any reference to Petitioner's immigration status is likewise absent from the Court's colloquy with Petitioner, during which the Court reviewed each provision of the plea agreement. Doc. 356 at 5:20-21:15. Neither Petitioner nor his attorney at any point during the colloquy objected or otherwise informed the Court that such an essential condition of the agreement had been overlooked. The record clearly demonstrates that no legally binding promise that the Court would find Petitioner non-deportable was made to induce his acceptance of the plea agreement.
Petitioner also claims that the government's promise that he would be non-deportable induced him to withdraw the motion to dismiss. Doc. 477 at 6. The Sentencing Memorandum does provide for the withdrawal of Petitioner's motion to dismiss and other consideration may be construed as a subsequent agreement between Petitioner and the government. It appears these promises might have encouraged Petitioner to withdraw his motion to dismiss and perform his end of the plea agreement. See Doc. 445. However, the Sentencing Memorandum is completely lacking in any reference to Petitioner's immigration status or any promise that he would be deemed non-deportable. Additionally, the record of Petitioner's sentencing hearing is silent with respect to any promise of non-deportability and the Court was not apprised of the absence of such a promise. See Doc. 468. The record clearly demonstrates that no promise that Petitioner would be non-deportable was made to induce his withdrawal of the motion to dismiss.
Petitioner also claims that "[t]he Government's aforesaid assurance that [Petitioner] was non-deportable was reinforced by defense counsel; AUSA Escobar; agents of [DHS, ICE], Bakersfield, California, during the safety valve colloquy; the Honorable Court during the plea allocution; by the Probation Department during the pre-sentence interview and again by the Honorable Court at sentencing, to the effect that, since [Petitioner] was non-deportable, the Court recommended: (1) [Petitioner] be placed in a minimum security prison; (2) participate in the RDAP; and, (3) participate in a RRC." Doc. 477 at 6. As discussed above, the record is clear that no such promises of non-deportability were made by any party, let alone the Court.
Further, the fact that the Court made certain recommendations does not confirm the existence of a non-deportability promise or in any way comment on Petitioner's immigration status. The Court may make recommendations to BOP irrespective of a defendant's immigration status or possibility of deportation. Cf. Advisory Committee's Notes on 2013 Amendments to Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 (explaining that the warning required by subdivision (b)(1)(O) must be provided to every defendant regardless of immigration status). Moreover, the Court's recommendations to BOP regarding a prisoner's place of confinement or participation in certain BOP programs are not binding on BOP. See 18 U.S.C. § 3621 ("Any order, recommendation, or request by a sentencing court that a convicted person serve a term of imprisonment in a community corrections facility shall have no binding effect on the authority of the Bureau under this section to determine or change the place of imprisonment of that person." (emphasis added)). Thus, Petitioner's assertion that the Court, or any other party, validated or confirmed his supposed non-deportable status is without merit.
The Court finds that the record clearly shows that no legally binding promise was made to Petitioner to induce his guilty plea and waiver.
2. Promise of Entitlement to Participate in RDAP and RRC
Affording Petitioner a liberal construction of his petition, it is possible to construe his due process claim as being based on a promise of entitlement to be placed in a minimum security prison, to participate in RDAP and RRC, and to receive credit from participation in those programs. Doc. 477 at 13; see also Doc. 493 at 3. This claim, too, must fail because the record demonstrates no promise was made to Petitioner that he was entitled to be placed in any particular type of facility, participate in any specific programs, or receive any resulting credit. In this regard, the plea agreement contains no reference to confinement at a minimum security prison, participation in RDAP, participation in RCC, or any credit that might be received. The government's promises to dismiss Count 2 and to recommend various level-reductions for sentencing purposes, however, are clearly provided in the plea agreement, implying that there were no other binding agreements. Doc. 139 at 5:11-27. The plea colloquy is also lacking in any reference to a minimum security facility, RDAP, or RRC. Doc. 356 at 5:20-21:15.
Further, the plea agreement provides that the Court is not a party to the agreement and is not bound by it. Doc. 139 at 10:24-28; see Silva-Romero v. United States, 2010 WL 624267, at *3 (E.D. Cal. 2010) ("plea agreements are essentially contracts between the criminal defendant and the prosecution. They cannot set out a specific term of imprisonment because the prosecution does not decide the sentence in the case; the court, which is not a party to the agreement and which cannot be bound by it, does the sentencing."). The fact that the Court was not bound by the plea agreement was reiterated during the plea colloquy. Doc. 356 at 11:14-23. Even if the government had made a promise to recommend Petitioner participate in RDAP, the Court was not obligated to accept that recommendation.[5]
The Sentencing Memorandum does provide that the government and defense counsel will request the Court's recommendation that Petitioner participate in RDAP. Doc. 445 at 2:8-10. This request was made by both parties at the sentencing hearing. Doc. 468 at 6:12-17, 10:7-13. It was noted that Petitioner's participation in the program "is subject to eligibility and space availability as determined by [BOP]." Doc. 468 at 10:11-13. The Court did in fact make the recommendation that Petitioner participate in RDAP. Doc. 468 at 20:5-6; Doc. 447 at 2. This, however, does not entitle Petitioner to participate in the program because the BOP is not bound by this Court's recommendations. See 18 U.S.C. § 3621. This fact is also supported by the acknowledgement that the Court's recommendation of incarceration at Lompoc, California, was made "only insofar as this accords with security classification and space availability." Doc. 447 at 2. The Court clearly informed Petitioner that any determination regarding space availability and security classification would be made by BOP, not the Court. None of this suggests an entitlement to participate in RDAP or to be housed at a particular facility. The Court also stresses that nowhere in the record is there any mention of RRC or something that could be construed as such. There is also no specific mention of credit for program participation, although successful completion of a drug treatment program may result in a reduced sentence. 18 U.S.C. § 3621(e)(2)(B). However, that subsection provides the BOP with discretion to reduce a sentence, not the Court.
The foregoing shows that Petitioner's claim that he would be entitled to a specific housing assignment, program participation, or credit from such programs is unreasonable and unsupported by anything in the record. It appears to the Court that any promise the government made regarding Petitioner's plea and sentence were clearly set forth in the plea agreement and the Sentencing Memorandum and were thereafter stated on the record in open court. The record demonstrates that the government has upheld its commitments in the plea bargain and the Sentencing Memorandum. Since the government has "abided by the expressed terms of the plea agreement" and the Sentencing Memorandum, no breach has occurred. Clark , 781 F.2d at 732; Quan , 789 F.2d at 714.
Petitioner's claim that he was induced to enter the plea agreement and withdraw his motion to dismiss by a promise of non-deportability is foreclosed by the record. Further, the record demonstrates that no promise was made regarding entitlement to be confined at a minimum security prison, to participate in RDAP or RRC, or to receive credit for such participation, and any understanding that such a promise had been made is unreasonable. The Court finds that there was no due process violation concerning Petitioner's plea agreement or withdrawal of the motion to dismiss. In this regard, Petitioner's acceptance of the plea agreement and the waiver provision was made knowingly and voluntarily.
C. Effective Assistance of Counsel
To state a claim for ineffective assistance of counsel, the movant must allege facts to support a showing that (1) the attorney's performance was deficient-in other words, that it "fell below an objective standard of reasonableness"-and (2) the deficiency was prejudicial. Strickland v. Washington , 466 U.S. 668, 687, 692 (1984). To demonstrate prejudice in the context of a plea, a movant must demonstrate a "reasonable probability that, but for counsel's errors, he would not have pleaded guilty and would have insisted on going to trial." Hill v. Lockhart , 474 U.S. 52, 59 (1985).
1. Performance
Initially, the Court notes that, although couched as a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, Petitioner does not specifically allege any conduct attributable to his attorney on which to base this claim. As with his due process claim, Petitioner emphasizes the government's allegedly violative conduct as the basis for his claim. See Doc. 477 at 3 ("The ground upon which this motion is based is that [Petitioner] was denied his... Sixth Amendment right[] to... effective assistance of counsel when the government... breached the plea agreement."). Throughout the motion, Petitioner claims that promises or representations concerning his non-deportability were made or affirmed by the government, as well as defense counsel, ICE, the Probation Department, and the Court. See Doc. 477 at 5-6, 13. These claims are unsupported by the record. See Part IV.B., supra.
Petitioner also invokes the Supreme Court's ruling in Padilla v. Kentucky , 559 U.S. 356 (2010), which held that defense counsel is required to advise a defendant about the risk of deportation arising from a guilty plea. Doc. 477 at 12; Padilla , 559 U.S. at 367. However, Petitioner does not specifically allege counsel's failure to inform him of potential removal consequences. Petitioner appears to argue that the government should have informed him of any immigration-related consequences. Doc. 477 at 12. Petitioner suggests that the government's failure to do so is an indication of "negotiating in bad faith" on the part of the government. Doc. 477 at 12.
To the extent that Petitioner's claims rely on an alleged breach of the plea agreement, those claims are rejected. The factual allegations that could potentially support a claim that the government denied or interfered with Petitioner's right to effective assistance of counsel-i.e., a promise of non-deportability and breach thereof-are without merit. See Part IV.B., supra.
The Court makes no determination as to whether an alleged Padilla violation constitutes ineffective assistance of counsel in this case. While it is clear that the Supreme Court's holding in Padilla requires defense counsel to advise a defendant about the risk of deportation, the decision in Chaidez v. United States , 133 S.Ct. 1103 (2013), held that Padilla did not apply retroactively. Chaidez , 133 S.Ct. at 1113. Here, Petitioner entered his guilty plea in June of 2009, prior to the Supreme Court's decision in Padilla. See Doc. 139; see Doc. 140. His sentencing and the withdrawal of the motion to dismiss, however, occurred in July of 2011, after Padilla. See Doc. 445; see Doc. 446. Moreover, as the government argues, Petitioner was apprised of potential deportation at the detention hearing. Doc. 478 at 7:22-25 ("[Petitioner] is not a citizen of the United States, although he is lawfully here.... [I]t appears that from the report that I have, that should he be convicted of this offense, he would be subject to deportation if convicted. " (emphasis added)), 8:15-18 ("[T]he Court finds not based on so much flight, although I do find that because he would be subject to deportation, and a long sentence if he were convicted of the offense...." (emphasis added)).[6]
It is unnecessary to rule on this question in this case. A court addressing a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel need not address both prongs of the Strickland test if the petitioner's showing is insufficient as to one prong. Strickland , 466 U.S. at 697. "If it is easier to dispose of an ineffectiveness claim on the ground of lack of sufficient prejudice, which we expect will often be so, that course should be followed." Strickland , 466 U.S. at 694.
2. Prejudice
Petitioner has failed to satisfy the prejudice prong of the Stickland test. While Petitioner repeatedly states that his non-deportable status and the other promises discussed in Part IV.B., supra, were "of particular concern" or a "quid pro quo" to his entering the guilty plea and withdrawing his motion to dismiss, he never states that he would have otherwise opted to proceed to trial. See Doc. 477; see Doc. 493. If Petitioner would not have gone to trial rather than enter a guilty plea, there is no prejudice to any alleged ineffective assistance of counsel. See Doganiere v. United States , 914 F.2d 165, 168 (9th Cir.1990); Rogers v. United States , 1 F.3d 697, 699 (8th Cir.1993) (no prejudice where petitioner "did not allege in his motion or in other pleadings before the district court that he would not have pleaded guilty if the trial court or his attorney had correctly informed him regarding parole eligibility").
In a habeas corpus proceeding, the alternative to the challenged plea bargain is not another plea bargain with more favorable terms but rather proceeding to trial. Silva-Romero, 2010 WL 624267, at *3. In his motion, Petitioner does not seek a trial, he seeks a sentence that is "more in compliance with the sentence he would have served" had the government not breached the alleged promise of non-deportability. Doc. 477 at 4. Petitioner clearly desires to avail himself of the benefits of the plea agreement he signed and more. See Doc. 477 at 3-4. This is a strong indication that he was not prejudiced, even assuming possible misconduct.
Petitioner notes that the Supreme Court has recognized that "[p]reserving the [defendant's] right to remain in the United States may be more important to the client than any potential jail sentence." Doc. 477 at 13-14 (quoting Padilla , 559 U.S. at 368, in turn quoting INS v. St. Cyr , 533 U.S. 289, 322-23 (2001)). However, the relief Petitioner seeks through this motion- resentencing-will not likely affect Petitioner's deportable status. Petitioner has made no request that his guilty plea be vacated in order to proceed to a trial on the criminal charges; thus, his conviction would remain in place. "[T]he terms of the relevant immigration statute are succinct, clear, and explicit in defining the removal consequence" for Petitioner's conviction. See Padilla , 559 U.S. at 368 (citing 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(B)(i) ("Any alien who at any time after admission has been convicted of a violation of (or a conspiracy or attempt to violate) any law or regulation of a State, the United States or a foreign country relating to a controlled substance..., other than a single offense involving possession for one's own use of 30 grams or less of marijuana, is deportable")). So long as Petitioner's conviction stands-and he makes no request or argument that it should be vacated-it cannot be said that Petitioner has been prejudiced by potential deportation.
Petitioner has not demonstrated that he has been prejudiced by any alleged ineffective assistance of counsel. On the contrary, Petitioner's motion appears to show a clear desire to receive what he claims are the benefits of his plea bargain. As such, the Court finds that there was no violation of Petitioner's right to the effective assistance of counsel concerning his plea agreement or the withdrawal of the motion to dismiss. In this regard, the Court finds that Petitioner did not enter into the plea agreement or withdraw his motion to dismiss unknowingly or involuntarily.
D. Conclusion
Petitioner knowingly and voluntarily accepted the plea agreement. See Part IV.A.-C., supra. The waiver provision found in the agreement is therefore valid and enforceable. While Petitioner couched his claims as violations of due process and effective assistance of counsel, Petitioner's main grievance relates to the sentence imposed and its execution. See Part IV.B.-C., supra; see also Doc. 477 at 6 (providing that "in addition to the negotiated term of incarceration" Petitioner would be afforded program participation and the resulting credits).[7] Construed as a challenge to the sentence ordered by the Court, Petitioner's motion falls within the scope of the waiver contained in the plea agreement and therefore must fail. See Alvarez v. United States, 2009 WL 2031705, at *3 (E.D. Cal. 2009) (challenge to sentence imposed was within scope of Section 2255 waiver).[8]
Petitioner has failed to allege specific facts that would entitle him to relief under Section 2255. As such, a hearing is not necessary.
For the foregoing reasons, Petitioner's motion to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence is DENIED without an evidentiary hearing.

Thanks blondeinbrisvegas, yeah has put me on pesseries to increase my levels. Was only 18 and he'd like me at 20. Due to my age (40) he'd like to keep an eye on it.

Hi Girls
Looking at changing doctors but cannot get into Dr Deambriosis until mid next year. However can get into see Dr Charlotte Morring in Feb next year. I suppose its the next best thing but just concerned as she is still an Ob and IVF is not her sole focus. We have had 10 failed cycles so a bit of a difficult case. Does anyone have any feedback they could give me? Really appreciate everyones help!
I would personally wait with 10 cycles under your wait
And go on the cancellation list (get all your paper work together and have it sent, so they know you are serious)
Good luck
Thanks. I am 37 and DH is 40. Time is not on our side unfortunately so we really dont want to wait another 6 months before starting again. We live a fair way from Brisbane and most times have to fly down for EPU and transfer so this is another factor as well. We want someone that will work with us regarding travel to make it as stress free as possible. We haven't tried a female FS yet so you never know!!! We are just sick of throwing out money away and starting to get pretty frustrated.
BlondeinBrisvegas (22-12-2015)
Charlotte is absolutely lovely, honest and upfront but very gentle.

Ring up and make an appointment with Dr De Ambrosis and asked to be put on the cancellation list. I did that 2 weeks ago and got called today for an appointment tomorrow. My initial appointment wasn't until July next year so it is definitely worth it to go on the list.
BlondeinBrisvegas (22-12-2015),Gagingi (22-12-2015),Tanej78 (21-12-2015)
Definately make apt with Warren, he is amazing and 1 waited 6mth for my apt even at 40 was scared but definately worth the wait. Dr Mooring is also lovely and has the se approach at Warren.
BlondeinBrisvegas (22-12-2015),Gagingi (22-12-2015)
I can also understand your worries about Ob as our first FS fell into that category and basically was a waste of time and money for IVF - although he would have been my first preference as an ob! I think Charlotte is different though and if I couldn't have Warren I'd go to her. She is lovely, helpful, conscientious and like Warren goes the extra mile. As the others have said he is handing over some procedures to her and I know we were very happy with an ET we had with her and will be having more procedures with her in the new year. Both her and Warren work ridiculously hard and Warren of course used to be an Ob too.
We don't actually count the cycles we had with FS#1 any more when we reflect on our a IVF journey, as he was so conservative we had no chance - hopefully your 10 cycles whilst expensive and draining are a reflection of that - and once you get to Warren/Charlotte you'll get your miracle.
Good luck!

I'm just here waiting to see Warren in his rooms wondering how he does it day after day with appointments before 6am... I'd gladly crawl back in bed today. So glad Brisbane has Wazza!

Latest Comments
"I saw this pattern and thought it would be great to go in my gift tins for my homemade spa sets for Christmas. I started the pattern but kept having trouble with the puff stitch. When I try to pull through the loop the hook gets stuck and pull a strand or two out making it look un-neat. Is there a way to prevent this? Could it be the yarn I am using?"
"I love this pattern for making dishcloths! It is so simple and it's so easy to remember. It makes a great,durable dishcloth. Does anyone tried this pattern with that new yarn that is made for making dishcloths? I think it might be a rayon blend. I'm going to try it next time I need dishcloths."
"This is a great beginner project, it was easy to follow and gave great instruction. I was able to work up several of these for co-workers who thought it was so cute. I am going to make several more for my home for company to use when they come over and have coffee."
"These spiral beaded trees are so pretty! For extra sparkle, I am going to place a battery tea light candle in the center of the spiral. Several of these trees would look great placed within a strand of twinkle or small rice lights on a mantle or table center piece!"
"That's a great idea!"
Aging, Antiquing and Distressing Tools, Techniques and Tips

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Use this guide to help you give a vintage look to your next craft projects. First, learn what tools are best for aging and distressing, then pick a technique and make sure to follow our quick tips and antiquing instructions. You can create some beautiful projects this way.
Aging, Antiquing & Distressing Tools
Acrylic Paints: Water down the paint to an inky consistency, which creates what is called a wash (1 part paint to 3 parts water). Colors of dark blue, patina green, rust, black and burnt umber work best on light color papers while white, light gray and light blue work best on dark colors. Brush light coats onto the paper until happy with the hue. Most craft acrylic paints are acid free. An acrylic paint wash can be used on any surface that paint can be used on.
Antiquing Gel: This is a thick liquid or gel that is brushed on and then rubbed off leaving a thin film that makes an object look older. There are a variety of colors from white to black. For hard surfaces like charms you can age the item by using antiquing gel. You will rub or brush on a small amount of the gel and then immediately brush the gel off with a paper towel. The gel will stick in the cracks and crevices to give the item an antique look.
Chalks or Pastels: Chalks and pastels can be used to age paper. Use darker colors and dust chalk around edges, over sanded portions, or all over the surface. Chalks and pastels need to be "sealed" with a spray finish, fixative or sealer.
Chalk Inks: A pigment ink that is usually light in saturation and hue. When dry, it leaves a chalky-like finish. Lightly sponged onto a paper or surface to antique or age it. Lightly sponge chalk ink over paper in aged colors like mustard, brown, rust, black or patina green. Keep adding color until happy. Light layering of color works best. A final dab of metallic ink adds richness to the antiquing.
Coffee and Coffee Grounds: Coffee can be used for aging and staining just like tea. Brew up a strong, dark batch of coffee and then you can soak, spray, dribble, or puddle the coffee onto the paper. Coffee grounds can also be used. Sprinkle coffee grounds over wet paper and allow to dry. You'll end up with speckles of dark color.
Fine Grit Sandpaper or Emery Board: Use the sandpaper or emery board to sand away layers of the paper to give a weathered effect. Use fine grit sandpaper or emery board and sand lightly over different areas of your paper. Sand edges and skip sand interior of paper. To skip sand, bounce your sand paper over a small area.
Hammer or Mallet: Here's a chance to get out all that frustration! Simply pound areas to give a dented, abused, and 'seen a few years' look to paper, metals, fabrics, and plastics. Some altered artists also use heavy chains to give the same look. Use a mat under the paper to protect your work surface and pound away!
Inks: Inks used in rubberstamping can be used to antique paper and other surfaces. Select colors that lend to aged looks like dark yellows, rusty orange and browns, patina greens, dark blacks and off-white whites. Best application is to lightly sponge ink onto paper in light layers. Both pigment and dye inks can be used.
Ink Sprays: Diluted inks in spray bottles used to spritz color onto a surface. Shade and intensity vary.
Steeped Tea: Place several tea bags into a bowl and add hot water. You want at least 3 tea bags to each cup of water. In other words, you want a strong batch of tea. Avoid teas that don't give rich color like green teas. Spray a mist of strong tea onto the paper and iron it. The straining will make the paper look old. Repeat misting until the paper is aged to your perfection.
Walnut Ink: This is an ink that is speckled, dripped or brushed onto paper that gives a sepia or brown wash to the paper. Usually a powder that you mix with water, but is also available in liquid form and in a variety of colors.
Aging, Antiquing & Distressing Techniques
Bleach It!: Brush or lightly spritz paper with bleach. Allow colors to fade, dab off any excess. Lemon juice can also be used. Heat set once dry.
Coaster It!: Using a messy cup of coffee or tea, use your paper as a coaster or saucer and let it soak up the coffee or tea that has puddled at the bottom of the cup or glass. It's an interesting, realistic touch of distressing.
Crush It!: You can ball up the paper and then smooth out to give aging lines and some instant wear and tear to paper. The more you crumple it, the more aged and soft the paper will look. You'll have a paper with a fine webbing of age lines.
Ink it!: Spill a little ink on that paper! Dribble it! Puddles of ink are perfect touches of aging. Allow ink to dry completely before adding any embellishments or photos.
Iron it!: For a more polished look, iron distressed paper. Always use an ironing cloth to protect your ironing board surface and your iron! Do your best to crush, ink, rip, sand, and more, then use the iron on a warm setting to smooth it all out.
Sand It!: Using sanding paper, fine steel wool, or an emery board, sand the edges of paper or embellishments. Skip the sanding paper or emery board over the body of the surface too. This gives the effect of weathering and aging by wind, sun, and time.
Speckle or Splatter It!: Using an acrylic wash or ink, take an old bristle brush or toothbrush and dip into liquid. Lay background paper or scrapbook page on newspaper or other covered work surface. Flick brush or toothbrush with your thumb and this sends a fine mist of paint over the paper. Repeat until you are happy.
Sponge It!: Sponge on hints of color using inks, pastels, chalks, paints, tea, coffee, glazes, and watercolors. Add layer upon layer of color until happy.
Spray It!: Spray surface with diluted ink, paint, even strong tea or coffee. Intensify color by repeated spraying.
Tear or Rip It!: Tearing and ripping paper gives it an aged or distressed look. You can rip along an edge or right down the middle! Practice ripping with scrap papers to get a feel of how different papers will rip and tear. You can also chalk or ink the ripped paper edges to give a more earthy aging effect.
Antiquing and Distressing Tips
- Age builds up on surfaces so to create a realistic aged surface slowly "build" layers of color, stain and paint. Then sand or pound. Then repeat layering of color.
- Step back from your work occasionally and look at the aging effects from a distance. Up close your project may look done, but at a distance you may see it in a different light.
- Gold ages with brown tones, silver with black tones.
- Add shadow with dark hues, highlights with light hues.

Winter Notes on Summer Impressions
By Fyodor Dostoevsky
In June 1862, Dostoevsky left Petersburg on his first excursion to Western Europe. Ostensibly making the trip to consult Western specialists about his epilepsy, he also wished to see firsthand the source of the Western ideas he believed were corrupting Russia.

Comments about Dean Performer Plus Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I bought this to replace my camp fire guitar (Taylor Big Baby) that was badly worn, refretted once with EVO and had loose braces from being beat to death, airlined and hauled around the states for the last 7 years. I only had this for a day now and wouldn't hesitate to buy another if it was destroyed, lost or stolen. For a guitar at this price this ax projects a great sound at a reasonably loud volume; definitely much louder that my Big Baby is/was even when new. With the solid top I expect it will age nicely even though the tone is more than good right off the shelf.
