R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

HL/Inventory violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Coto contends that the district court erred in determining that his prior conviction for second degree robbery in violation of Calif. Penal Code § 211 was a "crime of violence" supporting a 16-level enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii). As Coto concedes, this contention is foreclosed by United States v. Becerril-Lopez, 541 F.3d 881 (9th Cir. 2008).
