In US v. Landeros Lopez, No. 09-8056, the court affirmed defendant’s conviction for conspiracy to traffic in methamphetamine on the ground that, when read in combination with the prosecutor’s statements and the plea colloquy, a presentence report provided a sufficient factual basis for the court to accept defendant’s plea. However, the court vacated defendant’s sentence on the ground that, by definitively announcing defendant’s sentence before providing him with an opportunity to speak on his own behalf, the district court prematurely adjudged his sentence.
