conviction for reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Manzo-Solano 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 for
second-degree robbery under California Penal Code §§ 211 and 212.5(c) is not a
crime of violence. This claim is foreclosed. See United States v. Becerril-Lopez,
541 F.3d 881, 893 & n.10 (9th Cir. 2008) (a conviction for robbery under
California Penal Code § 211 is a categorical crime of violence). Contrary to
Manzo-Solano’s assertion, Descamps v. United States, 133 S. Ct. 2276 (2013),
which concerns the modified categorical approach, does not allow us to disregard
Becerril-Lopez. See 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.
