United States Ninth Circuit

In a dispute concerning whether the taking of guilty pleas at a large group plea hearing violated a criminal defendant's rights protected by Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11 and the Fifth and Sixth Amendments, judgment of the district court is affirmed because the individual questioning of defendant satisfied the requirement that the magistrate judge make certain that defendant, a native and citizen of Mexico, knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived her rights before entering a plea of guilty pursuant to 8 U.S.C. section 1325.
