United States Second Circuit

Affirmed a sentence for illegal reentry into the U.S. after previously having been deported. The defendant, who pleaded guilty, contended that his sentence was improperly enhanced under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines because his prior New York conviction of attempted robbery in the second degree should not have been considered a crime of violence. Rejecting his argument, the Second Circuit upheld his sentence.
