United States v. Villarreal-Tamayo

1Opinion of the Court
EVANS, Circuit Judge.
Gerardo Villarreal-Tamayo pleaded guilty to being in the United States without permission after he was deported. See 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). He was sentenced to a term of 48 months because his deportation followed a conviction for an aggravated felony. On appeal he argues that his guilty plea should be overturned because during the plea colloquy he did not admit, nor did the district court find, that he was previously convicted of an aggravated felony. Because Tamayo 1 didn’t first ask the district court to allow him to walk away from his plea, his burden here is a steep one.
