Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit July 26, 1990, 1150, Docket 89-1609 (United States v. Lionel Marquez)

JON O. NEWMAN, Circuit Judge:

This appeal presents the issue of whether a guilty plea is lawful where the Government informs the defendant that it will agree to a plea bargain in his wife’s ease only if he pleads guilty. The appeal also implicates the issue of whether the Government may obtain concessions from defense counsel by offering to release seized funds for payment of attorney’s fees.
