GERZAIN SALVADOR MANZO-
SOLANO, a.k.a. Gerzain Manzo-Solano,

               Defendant - Appellant.

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                             for the District of Arizona
                    Rosemary Marquez, District Judge, Presiding

                             Submitted April 13, 2016**

Before:        FARRIS, TALLMAN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

      Gerzain Salvador Manzo-Solano appeals from the district court’s judgment

and challenges the 27-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea

conviction for reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have

jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

      Manzo-Solano contends that the district court erred in applying a 16-level

enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) because his prior conviction for

second-degree robbery under California Penal Code §§ 211 and 212.5(c) is not a

crime of violence. This claim is foreclosed. See United States v. Becerril-Lopez,

541 F.3d 881, 893 & n.10 (9th Cir. 2008) (a conviction for robbery under

California Penal Code § 211 is a categorical crime of violence). Contrary to

Manzo-Solano’s assertion, Descamps v. United States, 133 S. Ct. 2276 (2013),

which concerns the modified categorical approach, does not allow us to disregard

Becerril-Lopez. See Miller v. Gammie, 335 F.3d 889, 893 (9th Cir. 2003) (en

banc) (three-judge panel is bound by circuit precedent unless that precedent is

“clearly irreconcilable” with intervening higher authority).

      AFFIRMED.
