PER CURIAM.

Mario Borunda-Calahorra appeals from the final judgment entered in the

District Court1

 for the Western District of Arkansas upon his plea of guilty to illegal

re-entry after deportation following conviction for an aggravated felony in violation

of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), (b)(2). The district court sentenced Borunda-Calahorra to 33

months in prison. For reversal, Borunda-Calahorra argues based on United States v.

Booker, 125 S. Ct. 738 (2005), that the district court violated the Sixth Amendment

in finding that his prior conviction warranted a 12-level increase in his offense level.

We have already rejected a similar argument, see United States v. Torres-Alvarado,

416 F.3d 808 (8th Cir. 2005), and we conclude there was no Booker error because the

district court calculated the sentencing range properly and treated the Sentencing

Guidelines as advisory, see United States v. Salter, No. 04-3137, 2005 WL 1875709,

at *1 (8th Cir. Aug. 10, 2005). Accordingly, we affirm.
