Jose-Gonzalez

MEMORANDUM **

Avaro Jose-Gonzalez appeals from the 46-month sentence imposed following his *654 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.

Jose-Gonzalez contends that the district court erred by enhancing his sentence based on a prior conviction because the prior conviction was neither admitted or proven to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. This contention is foreclosed. United States v. Zepeda-Martinez, 470 F.3d 909, 912 (9th Cir.2006). To the extent that Jose-Gonzalez contends that there was no proof of his prior conviction, this is belied by the record. See Fed. R. of Crim. P. 32(i)(3)(A).

Jose-Gonzalez further contends that the district court failed to appropriately apply the Guidelines and gave excessive weight to the prior conviction. We conclude that the district court applied the appropriate legal standard and properly considered the 18 U.S.C. § 3553 (a) sentencing factors. See United States v. Perez-Perez, 512 F.3d 514, 516-17 (9th Cir.2008); see also U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2 cmt. n. 6. We further conclude that Jose-Gonzalez’s sentence is reasonable. See…
