MEMORANDUM **
Victor Manuel Abarca appeals from the 70-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for attempted entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), and false claim to United States citizenship, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 911. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm, but remand to correct the judgment.
*747Abarca contends that the district court erred by applying a sentencing enhancement pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(l)(A)(ii) because his prior conviction for a lewd and lascivious act on a child under 14, in violation of California Penal Code § 288(a), does not categorically qualify as a crime of violence. This contention is foreclosed by United States v. Medina-Villa, 567 F.3d 507, 509 (9th Cir.2009).
Abarca also contends that his sentence, in excess of two years of custody and one year of supervised release, violates his Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights because the fact of his prior conviction was neither proven to a jury nor admitted during a guilty plea. As Abarca concedes, this contention is foreclosed. See United States v. Covian-Sandoval, 462 F.3d 1090, 1096-97 (9th Cir.2006).
We remand the case to the district court with instructions that it delete from the judgment the reference to 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b). See United States v. Rivera-Sanchez, 222 F.3d 1057, 1062 (9th Cir.2000); see also United States v. Herrera-Bianco, 232 F.3d 715, 719 (9th Cir.2000) (remanding sua sponte to delete the reference to § 1326(b)(2)).
AFFIRMED; REMANDED to correct the judgment.
