United States v. Conde-Castaneda, No. 13-10590 (5th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his sentence for illegal reentry. The court held that defendant's previous conviction in Texas state court for burglary was a predicate offense constituting a "burglary of a dwelling" under the Sentencing Guidelines and was therefore a crime of violence. The court also held that defendant's written Texas "boiler plate" judicial confession, in which he confessed to "each and every act alleged" in the indictment, was sufficient to establish that his prior conviction rested on every offense the indictment charged. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.
