183363P.pdf   06/25/2020  United States  v.  Jesus Ramirez
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-3363
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport   
[PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Loken and Colloton, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court did not err in denying defendant's motion to dismiss his indictment for illegal reentry after removal; the motion was based on a collateral attack on his 2008 removal and a claim that failure to provide him a Spanish interpretation of his Notice of Intent deprived him of the ability to challenge the government's decision to classify him as an aggravated felon, thereby depriving him of the opportunity to seek voluntary departure; the district court did not err in concluding that defendant had failed to show prejudice under 8 U.S.C. Section 1326(d)(3); considering defendant's serious and recent felony convictions and the lack of a sufficient compelling counter-balancing factor at the time, the court concludes it is not reasonably likely that he would have received pre-conclusion voluntary departure from the agency.
