U.S. v. Bahena-Navano

Dist. Ct. did not err in rejecting defendant’s guilty plea to charge of illegal re-entry into U.S. by previously deported alien where record showed that at time defendant made said plea on day of trial, he was unwilling to waive right against self-incrimination, and that defendant stated on two occasions during plea colloquy that he wanted to go to trial. Ct. rejected defendant’s claim that Dist. Ct. coerced him into proceeding to trial by failing to fully inquire about defendant’s confusion regarding waiver of his trial rights.
