UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JUANA HARO,

Petitioner,

vs.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Respondent.

CASE NO. 17cv936-LAB (BLM)

ORDER DENYING MOTION UNDER 

28 U.S.C. § 2255

Last summer, Juana Haro pled guilty to driving a car loaded with 60 pounds of 

methamphetamine into the United States. The maximum sentence was 240 months in 

prison—the Court sentenced Haro to 71 months. Haro asks the Court to shave 14 months 

off her sentence based on a minor role reduction. But the Court already rejected this 

argument: importing 60 pounds of methamphetamine doesn’t make Haro substantially less 

culpable or entitle her to a “minor role adjustment under section 3B1.2.” United States v. Ng, 

202 F.3d 280 (9th Cir. 1999) (rejecting minor role based on attempted importation of 

methamphetamine). And since the sentence wasn’t greater than 71 months, Haro agreed 

to waive any right “to collaterally attack the sentence” anyway. United States v. Abarca, 985 

F.2d 1012, 1014 (9th Cir. 1993). 2 The motion is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
