Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Lorenzo Grant appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 37-month sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Grant contends that the district court erred by concluding that his conviction for willful infliction of corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant under California Penal Code § 273.5 was a “crime of violence” under U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2 (2015) and, therefore, constituted a Grade A violation of supervised release. See U.S.S.G. § 7B1.1(a)(1)(A)(i) & cmt. n.2. This claim is foreclosed by United States v. Laurico-Yeno, 590 F.3d 818, 821-23 (9th Cir. 2010), which held that a conviction under California Penal Code § 273.5 is a categorical crime of violence under the force clause of the definition of “crime of violence” in U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2, which is identical to the force clause in the definition of “crime of violence” in U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2. Contrary to Grant’s claim, Johnson v. United States, — U.S. —, 135 S.Ct. 2551, 192 L.Ed.2d 569 (2015), does not undermine Laurico-Yeno. See Johnson, 135 S.Ct. at 2563 (striking down the residual clause in the definition of “violent felony” under the Armed Career Criminal Act, but declining to call into question the remainder of the definition, including the force clause).

AFFIRMED.
