MEMORANDUM ***

Chad Andrew Berkley appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction for failure to register as a sex offender, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2250(a). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Berkley argues that the registration requirements of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (“SORNA”) did not apply to him when he moved from Pennsylvania to Arizona in 2010, because the Attorney General’s SMART guidelines, which made the requirements retroactive as of August 1, 2008, did not comply with the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”). Berkley’s claim is foreclosed by our decision in United States v. Valverde, 628 F.3d 1159, 1164, 1169 (9th Cir. 2010), in which we held that the final SMART guidelines issued on July 2, 2008, complied with the APA’s procedural requirements and that SORNA became effective against offenders like Berkley, who were convicted before the statute’s enactment, on August 1, 2008. See United States v. Mattix, 694 *679 F.3d 1082, 1084-85 (9th Cir. 2012) (per curiam), ce rt. denied, — U.S. -, 134 S.Ct. 139, 187 L.Ed.2d 99, 2013 WL 2417739 (U.S. Oct. 7, 2013).

AFFIRMED.
