United States v. Raymond Ronell, Jr.

MEMORANDUM ** Raymond W. Ronell, Jr. pleaded guilty and was sentenced for sexual exploitation of a minor, 18 U.S.C. § 2251(a), and receipt and distribution of child pornography, 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(2). We affirm. Ronell challenges the district court’s denial of his motion to suppress. Ronell failed, however, to preserve this issue for appellate review because he pleaded guilty without a written plea agreement and made no reservation of rights at the plea hearing. When a defendant pleads guilty without conditions, the plea “constitutes a waiver of the right to appeal all nonjurisdictional antecedent rulings and cures all antecedent constitutional defects.” United States v. Lopez-Armenta, 400 F.3d 1173, 1175 (9th Cir.2005). Accordingly, we dismiss this portion of Ronell’s appeal. Ronell also challenges sentencing enhancements based on information the government obtained after his guilty plea. There is no bar, however, to using after-acquired evidence to enhance a sentence. “The trial judge has always been permitted to consider the circumstances of the offense together with the character and *779 propensities of the offender.” United States v. Belgard, 894 F.2d 1092, 1099 (9th Cir.1990) (internal quotation marks omitted). DISMISSED in part; AFFIRMED in part.
