Appeal from the United States District Court

Cindy K. Jorgenson, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted September 11, 2014**
San Francisco, California
Before: BEA, IKUTA, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.
Defendant Jose Lugo appeals the district court’s imposition of a 16-level
sentencing enhancement. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we
affirm.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Lugo’s prior conviction for violating Cal. Penal Code § 261.5(d), which
prohibits unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor under 16, is categorically a
crime of violence within the meaning of U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii). See United
States v. Gomez-Mendez, 486 F.3d 599, 603 (9th Cir. 2007) (concluding that the
generic crime of statutory rape encompasses “the full range of conduct proscribed
by Cal. Penal Code § 261.5(d)”). Our decisions defining the term “sexual abuse of
a minor” do not alter the elements of generic statutory rape. See United States v.
Zamorano-Ponce, 699 F.3d 1117, 1120 (9th Cir. 2012).
AFFIRMED.
