1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
This is a criminal case in which the appellant is challenging his conviction for illegal reentry into the United States as a previously removed alien. See 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). The appeal turns on the validity of the underlying order of removal. The district court found that the appellant could not satisfy the criteria for mounting a collateral attack on that order and, thus, denied the appellant’s motion to dismiss the indictment. The appellant now seeks to reverse the denial of his motion. After careful consideration, we affirm.
