Before: CANBY, TASHIMA, and FRIEDLAND, Circuit Judges.

William Ramsey Reed, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Elizabeth Olson White, Esquire, Assistant U.S. Attorney, USRE - Office of the US Attorney-Reno, Reno, NV, for Plaintiff - Appellee Wendi L. Overmyer, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Federal Public Defender's Office Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV, for Defendant - Appellant

MEMORANDUM **

William R. Tellez appeals from the district court’s judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.

Tellez contends that his armed bank robbery conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a), (d) does not qualify as a predicate crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c). This argument is foreclosed. See United States v. Watson, 881 F.3d 782 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, ––– U.S. ––––, 139 S.Ct. 203, ––– L.Ed.2d –––– (2018).

AFFIRMED.
