United States v. Daniel Reyes-Zarate

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION OCT 19 2015 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 14-50450 Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 3:13-cr-04121-LAB v. MEMORANDUM* DANIEL REYES-ZARATE, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California Larry A. Burns, District Judge, Presiding Submitted October 14, 2015** Before: SILVERMAN, BYBEE, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges. Daniel Reyes-Zarate appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 72-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a removed alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Reyes-Zarate contends that the district court erred in applying a 16-level enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) because his prior conviction under California Penal Code § 211 is not a crime of violence. Reyes-Zarate’s argument is foreclosed. See United States v. Flores-Mejia, 687 F.3d 1213, 1216 (9th Cir. 2012) (a conviction under California Penal Code § 211 is a categorical crime of violence); see also Miller v. Gammie, 335 F.3d 889, 893 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (three-judge panel is bound by circuit precedent unless that precedent is “clearly irreconcilable” with intervening higher authority). AFFIRMED. 2 14-50450
