Defendant-Appellant.
________________________
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
________________________
(November 23, 2011)
Before TJOFLAT, CARNES and WILSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Joel Socorro appeals his conviction on a plea of guilty for carrying a firearm
during a crime of violence, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1).1 Socorro claims
that his conviction is invalid because he was denied his constitutional right to a
speedy trial: he was not arraigned until thirteen years following the return of his
indictment. Socorro did not move the district court to dismiss his indictment on
that speedy trial ground; moreover, his plea of guilty operated as a waiver of all
nonjurisdictional defects in the criminal proceeding, including a violation of the
right to a speedy trial. United States v. Yunis,
723 F.2d 795, 796 (11th Cir. 1984).
Socorro’s conviction is, accordingly, AFFIRMED.
1
The crime of violence was an attempt to rob a shipment of property in the possession of
the United Parcel Service on June 11, 1996, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1951(a).
