WICHITA, Kansas (AP) - A Mexican citizen prosecutors have linked to thousands of U.S. birth certificates produced for illegal immigrants faces a Jan. 11 sentencing in a separate identity theft case.

Donna Calabrese, director of the state's Office of Vital Statistics, says she hopes the new case against Jorge Alvarez Rivera is taken seriously.

The current prosecution against Rivera - also known as Daniel Salas - comes more than a decade after his activities first surfaced during a 1998 automobile accident in which 830 Kansas birth certificates were found in his trunk. He was never prosecuted for it.

The 62-year-old Mexican citizen pleaded guilty last month to making a false claim of U.S. citizenship and identity theft.
