Outcome
The First Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of Moreno's § 2255 petition for ineffective assistance of counsel. The court held that even assuming deficient representation, Moreno could not establish prejudice under Strickland because he failed to withdraw his guilty plea when the sentencing exposure became clear after his PSR was issued.
