United States v. Abundez-Chavez

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Miguel Abundez-Chavez appeals from the 33-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for illegal re-entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Abundez-Chavez contends that the district court erred when it determined that his prior conviction for discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle, in violation of Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-508, is a crime of violence as defined by U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(l)(A)(ii). We are precluded from reaching the merits of this claim by the valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Nunez, 223 F.3d 956, 958 (9th Cir. 2000); see also United States v. Jacobo Castillo, 496 F.3d 947, 957 (9th Cir. 2007) (en banc).

AFFIRMED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
