NM. I found the case talked about. U.S. v. Sineneng-Smith. Stood for the proposition that a court shouldn't advance arguments, rather should be passive and rule only upon the arguments set forth by the litigants. I guess this goes to Sullivan interjecting the question of "perjury" into the discussion, since perjury was never alleged or asserted by the prosecution. Only question I have is whether a Motion to Dismiss is the proper vehicle to bring after a Judgment of Conviction has been entered. On the Civil side, you'd have to file a Motion to Vacate the Judgment rather than a Motion to Dismiss the Case. Will be interesting to read Sullivan's response.

The conviction would not be final until after the appellate delays have run should no appeal be pursued following sentencing. Because the motion to dismiss was filed prior to sentencing and prior to the expiration of those delays, I think it obviates the plea.
As an analogy, even if someone were convicted by a 12 person jury, that conviction is overturned by application of law should that defendant die before he/she can finish the appellate process.
