United States v. Baeza-Sanchez

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 01-41016 Conference Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus GONZALO BAEZA-SANCHEZ, Defendant-Appellant. -------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. L-01-CR-504-ALL -------------------- June 19, 2002 Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Gonzalo Baeza-Sanchez appeals from his guilty-plea conviction for illegally reentering the United States after having been deported subsequent to an aggravated felony conviction, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. He argues that his indictment violates the Fifth and Sixth Amendments because it does not allege general intent. * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. No. 01-41016 -2- As Baeza-Sanchez concedes, however, his argument is foreclosed by Fifth Circuit precedent. See United States v. Guzman-Ocampo, 236 F.3d 233, 237-39 (5th Cir. 2000), cert. denied, 533 U.S. 953 (2001); see also United States v. Berrios- Centeno, 250 F.3d 294, 297-300 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 122 S. Ct. 288 (2001). He raises the argument only to preserve it for Supreme Court review. The district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
