MEMORANDUM **

Rodriguez-Venegas’ argument challenging continued applicability of Almendarez-Torres v. United States 1 to 8 U.S.C. § 1326 (b)(2) is foreclosed by United States v. Rodnguez-Lara 2 and subsequent authority.

Rodriguez-Venegas’ double counting argument addressed to § 2L 1.2(b) of the guidelines is foreclosed by United States v. Luna-Herrera 3 and United States v. Blanc o-Gallegos. 4 Though the significance of the guidelines calculation has changed since then because of United States v. Booker 5 and United States v. Carty, 6 the double counting issue regarding the guidelines calculation under § 2L1.2 has not.

AFFIRMED.
