Case: 15-14638 Date Filed: 04/15/2016 Page: 2 of 2

Before WILLIAM PRYOR, FAY, and EDMONDSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Ramiro Lucio Leal-Chavez appeals his 60-month sentence, imposed below the guideline range, after being convicted of illegal entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. The district court did not err by considering the nature of Leal-Chavez’s prior conviction; Leal-Chavez’s constitutional arguments are foreclosed by binding Supreme Court and Eleventh Circuit precedent. See Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 118 S. Ct. 1219 (1998); United States v. Beckles, 565 F.3d 832 (11th Cir. 2009); United States v. Spears, 443 F.3d 1358 (11th Cir. 2006).

AFFIRMED.
