                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Central District of California
                 Michael W. Fitzgerald, District Judge, Presiding

                     Argued and Submitted October 11, 2013

             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Before: PREGERSON and TALLMAN, Circuit Judges, and SIMON, District
Judge.**

      Roberto Hernandez Guzman appeals the sentence imposed following his

guilty plea to a single count of 8 U.S.C. § 1326, illegal reentry. We have

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

      Because the arguments Guzman now raises on appeal were not first raised in

district court, we review for plain error. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 52(b); United States

v. Ellsworth, 456 F.3d 1146, 1152 (9th Cir. 2006).

      We conclude that the district court committed no error at all. In calculating

separately Guzman’s sentence for a probation violation and Guzman’s sentence for

a new offense, the district court properly followed controlling authority. See

U.S.S.G. § 4A1.2, cmt. n.11; United States v. Palmer, 946 F.2d 97, 99 (9th Cir.

1991). The district court did not err in awarding Guzman separate criminal history

points for sentences imposed on different days. U.S.S.G. § 4A1.2(a)(2); see also

United States v. Gonzalez, --- F.3d ---, 2013 WL 4792952, at *1 (9th Cir. 2013).

      Guzman’s contention that the district court erred in finding that he

committed the instant offense while under a criminal justice sentence is

unsupported by the record.

      AFFIRMED.

        **
             The Honorable Michael H. Simon, District Judge for the U.S. District
Court for the District of Oregon, sitting by designation.
