United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Santos Marcial Benegas-velasquez, Defendant-appellant, 42 F.3d 1403 (9th Cir. 1994)
Annotate this CaseBefore: BROWNING, FARRIS, and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM**
Santos Marcial Benegas-Velasquez appeals his 77-month sentence imposed following entry of a plea of guilty to illegal reentry after having been deported subsequent to a conviction for an aggravated felony, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b) (2). He contends that due process and principles of estoppel require that his sentence not exceed two years because the Immigration and Naturalization Service incorrectly informed him when he was deported that the maximum prison term for illegal reentry was two years. Both arguments are foreclosed by our decision in United States v. Ullyses-Salazar, 28 F.3d 932 (9th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, the district court's judgment is
AFFIRMED.
