Hector Cuero Ríaseos (“Ríaseos”) appeals the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate, set aside, or correct sentence.
FACTS AND PROCEEDINGS IN DISTRICT COURT
Pursuant to a plea agreement, Ríaseos pleaded guilty to being in the United States after having been previously deported in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2). At sentencing, the district court concluded that Rias-cos’s prior conviction was an “aggravated felony” under the guidelines and sentenced Ríaseos to 78 months’ imprisonment. Counsel filed a notice of appeal, but the appeal was dismissed for want of prosecution.
