Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Ruben Ruiz-Rosales appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges the 30-month sentence following his guilty plea conviction for being a removed alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
In imposing the 30-month sentence, the district court correctly determined that California Health & Safety Code § 11351 is divisible within the meaning of Descamps v. United States, — U.S. -, 133 S.Ct. 2276, 186 L.Ed.2d 438 (2013), and therefore subject to the modified categorical approach. See United States v. Torre-Jimenez, 771 F.3d 1163, 1167 (9th Cir.2014) (holding section 11351 is divisible).
AFFIRMED.
