United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Jose Juan Cervantes-alvarado, Defendant-appellant, 968 F.2d 21 (10th Cir. 1992)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 968 F.2d 21 (10th Cir. 1992) June 23, 1992

Before JOHN P. MOORE, TACHA and BRORBY, Circuit Judges.

ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

JOHN P. MOORE, Circuit Judge.


This is an appeal from a non-conditional guilty plea. The defendant attempts to obtain a reversal of his conviction on the ground that the district court did not ascertain whether the government could prove a non-jurisdictional element of the offense to which he plead guilty. Without considering whether the issue can be raised on direct appeal, we conclude it has been waived by the plea. United States v. Gipson, 835 F.2d 1323, 1324 (10th Cir.), cert. denied, 486 U.S. 1044 (1988).

AFFIRMED. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
