United States v. Zavala-Icida
United States v. Zavala-Icida
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Fabian Zavala-Icida appeals from his conviction for being a deported alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, United States v. Ubaldo-Figueroa, 364 F.3d 1042, 1047 (9th Cir. 2004), and affirm.
Appellant contends that the district court improperly denied his motion to dismiss the indictment due to an invalid prior
Even assuming that appellant was denied the opportunity for judicial review of his prior removal proceedings, he was statutorily precluded from receiving cancellation of removal because he had already been granted such relief once before. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229(b)(6); Maldonado-Galindo v. Gonzales, 456 F.3d 1064, 1067-69 (9th Cir. 2006). Accordingly, appellant failed to demonstrate that the underlying removal order was fundamentally unfair or that he suffered prejudice as a result. See Ubaldo-Figueroa, 364 F.3d at 1048.
AFFIRMED.
