Indiana Court of Appeals
Latrell Vaughn v. State of Indiana
No. 26A-CR-306
Appeal from the St. Joseph Superior Coirt, Judge David L. Francisco. Vaughn appeals his 40-year sentence for robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, asserting that his appeal should be permitted despite an appeal waiver in his plea agreement. The court finds that Vaughn has waived appellate review of his sentence as the waiver explicitly covered his challenges, including the firearm enhancement and the proportionality of his sentence. The court concludes that Vaughn’s arguments do not fit the exceptions to enforcing such waivers. Judge Felix authored the opinion, with Chief Judge Tavitas and Judge Bradford concurring. Appellant’s attorney: A. Robert Masters, St. Joseph County Deputy Public Defender, Nemeth, Feeney Masters & Campiti PC, South Bend, Indiana. Appellee’s attorney: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.
