United States v. Caro-Grimaldo
United States v. Caro-Grimaldo
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
David Caro-Grimaldo appeals from the 34-month sentence imposed on resentencing following his guilty-plea conviction for being a deported alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Caro-Grimaldo contends that the district court erred under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466; 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), by enhancing his sentence based on his removal subsequent to a prior conviction, when his indictment did not allege the date of the prior removal. He further contends that the error was structural.
As a preliminary matter, we conclude that neither the scope of this Court’s prior remand for resentencing nor the law of the case doctrine precludes review of Caro-
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
