United States v. Becerra-Sandoval
United States v. Becerra-Sandoval
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
We affirm the conviction and sentence entered by the district court. Because the parties are familiar with the facts, we do not recite them here.
Assuming the district court erred during the plea colloquy by fading to inform Becerra-Sandoval of the “found in” element of the charged offense, the error was harmless as Becerra-Sandoval had previously indicated his awareness of that element. Fed.R.Crim.P. 11(h).
The requirement that BecerraSandoval report to a probation officer upon reentry to the United States does not violate the Fifth Amendment. The privilege against self-incrimination “protects an accused only from being compelled to testify against himself, or otherwise provide the State with evidence of a testimonial or communicative nature.” Schmerber v. California, 384 U.S. 757, 761, 86 S.Ct.
Finally, the district court did not err by considering Becerra-Sandoval’s pri- or felony convictions during sentencing, notwithstanding that such conduct was not charged in the indictment. United States v. Pacheco-Zepeda, 234 F.3d 411, 413-14 (9th Cir. 2000).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as may be provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
