United States v. Ornelas-Quintero
United States v. Ornelas-Quintero
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Lorenzo Ornelas-Quintero appeals from the 30-month sentence imposed following
Ornelas-Quintero contends that the district court erred in imposing an enhancement for a prior aggravated felony pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2. Specifically, Ornelas-Quintero contends that his 1994 conviction under Cal. Health & Safety Code § 11350(a) was not an aggravated felony. Because a violation of Cal. Health & Safety Code § 11350(a) is punishable by more than one year imprisonment, we conclude that the district court properly determined that Ornelas-Quintero’s prior conviction was an aggravated felony. See CaLPenal Code § 18; United States v. Rios-Beltran, 361 F.3d 1204, 1209-10 (9th Cir. 2004).
AFFIRMED.
