Libarios v. Office of Personnel Management

How later courts describe this case

• noting “obvious credibility problems” associated with petitioner’s self-serving claim that he would not have pled guilty had counsel not been ineffective as alleged
• resen-tencing not required where court did not plainly rely on challenged information and information does not appear to have “significantly influenced” the “nature or length” of the sentence; remand to district court for appropriate findings
• claim that prosecutor’s peremptory challenges violated Sixth Amendment rejected because no evidence presented on which surnames are Italian-American and what surnames indicate about ethnicity or race
• prosecutor is not normally under duty to disclose exculpatory evidence to grand jury, nor obliged to impeach its own witnesses
