Reasons

• M. Monica Zamora, Judge, with James J. Wechsler and Michael D. Bustamante, Judges concurring, provided the opinion. The Court denied the Defendant's motion to amend the docketing statement to add a new issue regarding the Second Amendment violation because the Defendant had waived his constitutional challenge by pleading guilty without reserving the issue for review. The Court found that a guilty plea, when voluntarily made after advice of counsel and with full understanding of the consequences, waives objections to prior defects in the proceedings and also operates as a waiver of statutory or constitutional rights, including the right to appeal. Since the Defendant did not address the issues raised in the docketing statement in his memorandum in opposition, those issues were deemed abandoned. The Court affirmed the district court's judgment for the reasons set forth in the calendar notice (paras 2-5).
