UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. MICHAEL JOHN KACZMARAK, a/k/a Michael Zbigniew Vonolazewski, a/k/a Von Olsewski, a/k/a Michael No. 02-4948 Zbigniew, a/k/a Michal Zbigniew, a/k/a Michael Zbigniew von Olswewski, a/k/a Michal Zbigniew Olszewski, Defendant-Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District Judge. (CR-02-435-A) Submitted: April 9, 2003 Decided: April 17, 2003 Before WILKINSON, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. COUNSEL Dale Warren Dover, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellant. Paul J. McNulty, United States Attorney, Michael J. Elston, Assistant United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee. 2 UNITED STATES v. KACZMARAK Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). OPINION PER CURIAM: Michael John Kaczmarak pled guilty to one count of unlawful attempt to re-enter the United States after deportation in violation of
8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) (2000). On appeal, he contends his due process rights were violated because of alleged alterations to the order of removal and collateral documents. He further contends the taking of his fingerprints when he unlawfully re-entered the country violated the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable search and seizure. Finding no reversible error, we affirm. In the context of a prosecution for illegal reentry after deportation, a defendant may collaterally attack a deportation order constituting an element of the offense if he can show that: (1) he was effectively deprived of his right to judicial review of the deportation order; (2) the deportation proceedings were fundamentally unfair; and (3) he has exhausted any administrative remedies that may have been available to seek relief against the deportation order.
8 U.S.C. § 1326(d) (2000); United States v. Mendoza-Lopez,
481 U.S. 828(1987). All three conditions must be satisfied. United States v. Wilson,
316 F.3d 506, 509 (4th Cir. 2003). We find that Kaczmarak cannot challenge the Order of Removal because the proceedings giving rise to the order were not fundamentally unfair. Kaczmarak failed to show he suffered prejudice as a result of the alleged defects.
Id.We further find the district court did not err by denying Kacz- marak’s motion to suppress the fingerprint evidence. "Routine border searches may be conducted without a warrant or a showing of reason- able suspicion or probable cause." United States v. Montoya de Her- nandez,
473 U.S. 531, 538 (1985). "A ‘routine’ [border] search is one that does not seriously invade a traveler’s privacy. In evaluating whether a search is ‘routine,’ the key variable is the invasion of the privacy and dignity of the individual." United States v. Kelly, 302 UNITED STATES v. KACZMARAK
3 F.3d 291, 294 (5th Cir. 2002) (internal citations and quotation marks omitted). We find Kaczmarak’s Fourth Amendment rights were not violated when authorities took his fingerprints after he was lawfully detained after entering the country illegally. We affirm the conviction and sentence. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre- sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED
