United States v. Davila, 569 U.S. 597 (2013), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that when a federal judge participates in the plea process in violation of rule 11(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, a guilty plea need not be vacated if the record shows prejudice to the decision to plea due to rule 11(h).[1]
