Ross v. Bush, No. 19-3947 (3d Cir.)
In 2004, Tola Ross pleaded guilty under duress, and immediately sought to withdraw his plea. When his motion to withdraw the plea was denied, his attorney not only did not file his direct appeal, he did not even consult with him about an appeal. For nearly two decades, Ross has sought to vindicate his direct appeal rights. All Rise Trial & Appellate was appointed by the Third Circuit to represent Mr. Ross’s interests.
