U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
De La Torre-Ventura contends that the district court violated his Sixth
Amendment right to confrontation by admitting documents from his Alien
Registration File to establish that he had been previously removed from the United
States. Each of De La Torre-Ventura’s arguments in support of this claim fail. See
United States v. Rojas-Pedroza, 716 F.3d 1253, 1267-69 (9th Cir. 2013), cert.
denied, __ S. Ct. __, 2013 WL 5965669 (Dec. 9, 2013).
AFFIRMED.
