Leocadio B. Moreno, Petitioner-appellant, v. United States of America, Respondent-appellee, 48 F.3d 1228 (9th Cir. 1995)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 48 F.3d 1228 (9th Cir. 1995) Submitted Feb. 21, 1995. *Decided Feb. 27, 1995

Before: SCHROEDER, CANBY, and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM** 

Leocadio Moreno, a federal prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's denial of his motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 in which Moreno sought expungement from his presentence report of a paragraph identifying allegations of Moreno's involvement in heavy drug trafficking. The district court properly ruled that Moreno's failure to raise an objection to this paragraph at the sentencing hearing constituted a waiver. See United States v. Schlesinger, 38 F.3d 485 (9th Cir. 1994) (citing United States v. Donn, 661 F.2d 820 (9th Cir. 1981) ("A defendant waives his right to attack the presentence report through a Sec. 2255 motion when he fails to avail himself of an opportunity to do so contemporaneously or on direct appeal.")).

AFFIRMED.
