violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Coto contends that the district court erred in
determining that his prior conviction for second degree robbery in violation of
Calif. Penal Code § 211 was a "crime of violence" supporting a 16-level
enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii). As Coto concedes, this
contention is foreclosed by United States v. Becerril-Lopez, 541 F.3d 881 (9th Cir.
2008).
AFFIRMED.
