Victor Gustavo Romero-Abrajan appeals from the 60-month sentence
imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a deported alien found in
the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction pursuant

Romero-Abrajan contends that the district court erred when it applied a 16-
level “crime of violence” adjustment under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii), based on
his prior conviction for inflicting corporal injury on a spouse, in violation of
California Penal Code § 273.5. Romero-Abrajan’s argument is foreclosed by
United States v. Laurico-Yeno, 590 F.3d 818, 823 (9th Cir. 2010) (holding that a
conviction under California Penal Code § 273.5 is categorically a “crime of
violence” under the Guidelines because the offense requires the intentional use of
physical force against the person of another).
AFFIRMED.
