U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit

United States v. David Floyd (public Reissued)

September 1, 2026

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of David Floyd's ineffective-assistance claim arising from the inclusion of a firearm enhancement in his plea-agreement sentencing estimate. It held that counsel's agreement to the enhancement was not objectively unreasonable given the factual proffer, Floyd's repeated failure to object, and the substantial benefits secured by the plea agreement. Because Floyd failed to establish deficient performance, the court did not reach prejudice.
