MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Cazares, 112 F.3d 1391 (9th Cir. 1997):
We have consistently held that a defendant's plea of guilty conclusively admits all factual allegations of the indictment. "The effect is the same as if appellant had been tried before a jury and had been found guilty on evidence covering all of the material facts." United States v. Davis, 452 F.2d 577, 578 (9th Cir.1971).
