7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. Francisco Fuentes

Case No.: 16-3504

Officials: BAUER, POSNER, and SYKES, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Sentencing

On January 28, 2016, Francisco Fuentes was charged with one count of illegal reentry by a deported alien in violation of 8 U.S.C. §§ 1326(a) and (b)(2). He pleaded guilty on June 7, 2016, pursuant to a written plea agreement. On September 7, 2016, he was sentenced to 24 months’ imprisonment. Fuentes appeals his sentence, arguing that the district court erred in its Sentencing Guidelines calculation. We find that Fuentes waived any such argument, and therefore, we affirm the sentence.
