Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
HARLINGTON WOOD, Jr., Circuit Judge.
Two issues are raised, both of which relate to the impact which the defendant’s illegal alien status may have had on the sentence imposed. The first requires consideration of references made by the court and Assistant United States Attorney during sentencing to the defendant as an illegal alien from Colombia. It is claimed those references violated the defendant’s due process and equal protection rights. The second claim is that the court in imposing sentence relied on unsubstantiated information about the defendant’s illegal entry into the United States.
