OPINION
_________________________
CHAD A. READLER, Circuit Judge. Alexander Ramirez-Figueredo, a Cuban citizen,
pleaded guilty to possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute it and was sentenced to
192 months’ imprisonment. He asks that we vacate his guilty plea because the district court did
not advise him that the plea could make him deportable. Alternatively, he asks that we order
resentencing because the district court did not consider his cooperation. But as RamirezFigueredo was already deportable when he pleaded guilty, and as the district court considered
what minimal evidence of cooperation there was, we see no error by the district court.
Accordingly, we affirm. |
