United States v. Frank Canales

GARWOOD, Circuit Judge:

Defendant-appellant Frank Canales (Ca-nales) was convicted, pursuant to his guilty plea, of escaping from custody. At his sentencing hearing, Canales challenged a *13121982 conviction listed as a prior offense in his Presentence Report (PSR). The district court determined that it could rely on the 1982 conviction as a prior offense, overruled Canales’s objection, and sentenced him to twenty-four months in prison and three years of supervised release. Canales now appeals.
