United States Ninth Circuit

In a dispute involving whether the taking of guilty pleas at a large group hearing violated the Fifth Amendment right to due process, judgment of the district court is affirmed where ample evidence supports finding by court that defendants, natives and citizens of Mexico, voluntarily and understandingly pled guilty, as required by Boykin, to illegally entering the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. section 1325.
