Broadcom Corp. co-founder Henry Samueli has petitioned the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider reinstating his rejected plea bargain with the federal government.

In a petition filed on Nov. 6, Samueli’s attorneys argued that his appeal should be reheard because it “presents an important issue of first impression in this Circuit — whether a district court’s attempt to coerce a defendant to waive his fundamental Fifth Amendment privilege is immediately reviewable.”
