United States Ninth Circuit

Conviction and sentencing of defendant for attempted entry after deportation, 8 U.S.C. section 1326(a)-(b), is affirmed where failure of district court to inform him of the immigration consequences of his plea during his plea colloquy was not prejudicial error because even where Padilla v. Kentucky has overruled Circuit precedent, the decision does not undercut the theory or reasoning underlying Amador-Lea so as to afford the defendant a remand.
