United States v. Rivera-Ramirez
Citation: 199 F. App'x 380Docket: No. 05-51493
Court: Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit; September 8, 2006; Federal Appellate Court
Leonides Rivera-Ramirez's appeal of a criminal judgment is denied, with the court citing the precedent established in Almendarez-Torres v. United States, which clarifies that 8 U.S.C. 1326(b)(2) is a penalty provision rather than a separate offense. The Government's motion for summary affirmance is granted, resulting in the affirmation of the district court's judgment. Additionally, the opinion is designated as non-published and not to be used as precedent, except in specific situations outlined in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
