United States v. Alfonso Contreras-Leon
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Alfonso Contreras-Leon appeals his conviction, after a guilty plea, of illegal reentry in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1826. He seeks to challenge the validity of his 1998 removal. Because he entered an unconditional guilty plea, he waived his right to appeal. See Fed.R.Crim.P. 11(a)(2). Even if there were some ambiguity in connection with the waiver, however, his appeal would lack merit. The subsequent removal in 2001 was also charged in the indictment and constituted an independent basis for his conviction.
The appeal is DISMISSED.
