Heading: Liera's Miranda Waiver

Text: Liera also argues that the district court should have suppressed all of his post-arrest statements for noncompliance with Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966). A district court's finding that a Miranda waiver was knowing and intelligent is a factual finding and is reviewed for clear error. Collazo v. Estelle, 940 F.2d 411, 415-16 (9th Cir.1991) (en banc). Here, the record demonstrates that Liera knowingly and voluntarily waived his Miranda rights. Liera testified that he waived his Miranda rights and Liera's counsel repeatedly stated that there had been a valid and knowing Miranda waiver. The district court therefore properly denied Liera's motion to suppress his post-arrest statements to the CBP officers.
