United States Fifth Circuit

Prior juvenile adjudications of defendant, convicted of illegal re-entry, were properly counted as felony convictions for purposes of U.S.S.G. section 2L1.2(b)(1)(D); although subsequent, substantive amendments to the Guidelines change this result, they do not apply retroactively.
