United States Seventh Circuit
US v. Pacheco-Diaz, 05-2264
Petition for rehearing in a prosecution for illegal reentry is denied where the district court properly applied a sentencing enhancement for reentry after removal for an aggravated felony since a second state marijuana-possession offense is an aggravated felony under federal law even if the alien was not charged as a recidivist in state court.
