Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

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.

Lugo’s prior conviction for violating CaLPenal 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.
