   MEMORANDUM

Maria Duran-Garrido appeals her forty-one month sentence imposed after her guilty plea conviction for illegal reentry of a previously deported alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 18 U.S.C. § 3742. We review the application of the Sentencing Guidelines de novo, United States v. Galindo-Gallegos, 244 F.3d 728, 733 (9th Cir.2001), and we affirm.

Duran-Garrido contends that the district court erred by enhancing her sentence under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A) for having previously committed an aggravated felony. She argues that her prior conviction for illegal transportation of illegal aliens (8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii)) is not an aggravated felony as described in 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(N), because it was not a conviction “relating to alien smuggling.” Duran-Garrido’s contention is foreclosed by our decision in Galindo-Gallegos, 244 F.3d at 733-34. Duran-Garrido’s sentence was properly enhanced. See id.

AFFIRMED.
