Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Ruben Baza-Martinez appeals from the 63-month sentence imposed, upon remand, following his guilty-plea conviction for illegal re-entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Baza-Martinez contends that, at resen-tencing, the district court should not have evaluated whether his prior conviction qualified as a crime of violence under the Guidelines because we had already decided that issue. This contention fails. See United States v. Garcia-Beltran, 443 F.3d 1126, 1129-31 (9th Cir.2006).
Baza-Martinez also contends that the district court erred by allowing the government to present new evidence at resen-tencing. This contention fails. See United States v. Matthews, 278 F.3d 880, 885-89 (9th Cir.2002) (en banc).
Baza-Martinez next contends that the new evidence presented at resentencing did not clearly and unequivocally establish that his prior conviction was based on qualifying conduct. We disagree. See United States v. Smith, 390 F.3d 661, 664-66 (9th Cir.2004).
Finally, Baza-Martinez contends that the district court erred by denying his request for a third point reduction for acceptance of responsibility under U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1(b). We conclude that this contention fails under United States v. Medina-Beltran, 542 F.3d 729, 731 (9th Cir.2008).
AFFIRMED.
