UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Salvador Guadalupe NAVARRO, Defendant-Appellant.
Order
Earlier decisions have established that Salvador Guadalupe Navarro consented to a $9 million forfeiture judgment, collectable through substitute assets, and waived any opportunity to seek a revision. See, e.g., No. 17-2613 (7th Cir. May 31, 2018) (nonprecedential decision). Nonetheless he continues to ask the judiciary to revisit this aspect of his sentence. The district judge declined to do so in this collection proceeding, and Navarro has appealed again.
He must understand that the arguments he presents have been considered and rejected. Pointing to new judicial decisions does not undermine the fact that this award is based on his consent in the plea agreement, and that he also promised not to appeal or seek collateral review. The time to contest this matter came and went years ago. Future attempts to reopen this subject will subject Navarro to penalties for frivolous litigation.
The district court’s decision that the forfeiture may be collected, in part, from funds available in Navarro’s prison trust account is not an abuse of discretion.
AFFIRMED
