US v. Polack, No. 08-3381

Sentence for theft is affirmed where the district court's failure to properly follow Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and inquire about the appellate waiver during the plea colloquy does not constitute plain error warranting remand as the totality of the circumstances shows that defendant's guilty plea was knowing and voluntary.
