United States v. Martinez-Higareda
United States v. Martinez-Higareda
Opinion
Ricardo Martinez-Higareda pleaded guilty pursuant to an oral plea agreement to possession with intent to distribute more than 50 kilograms of marijuana. The district court sentenced Martinez-Higareda to 37 months in prison and three years of supervised release.
For the first time on appeal, MartinezHigareda argues that the district court violated his Fourth Amendment rights by ordering, as a written condition of his supervised release, that he cooperate in the collection of DNA by his probation officer. As Martinez-Higareda concedes, his claim is not ripe for review. See United States v. Riascos-Cuenu, 428 F.3d 1100, 1101-02 (5th Cir. 2005), petition for cert. filed (Jan. 9, 2006) (No. 05-8662). He raises the issue only to preserve it for further review.
The appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
