Before WILLIAM PRYOR, FAY, and EDMONDSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Ramiro Lucio Leal-Chavez appeals his 60-month sentence, imposed below
the guideline range, after being convicted of illegal entry after deportation, in
violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. The district court did not err by considering the
nature of Leal-Chavez’s prior conviction; Leal-Chavez’s constitutional arguments
are foreclosed by binding Supreme Court and Eleventh Circuit precedent. See
Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 118 S. Ct. 1219 (1998); United States v.
Beckles, 565 F.3d 832 (11th Cir. 2009); United States v. Spears, 443 F.3d 1358
(11th Cir. 2006).
AFFIRMED.
