United States Ninth Circuit

Sentence for illegal reentry after deportation in a case in which the District Court applied enhancements pursuant to U.S.S.G. section 2L 1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) on the ground that defendant's prior conviction for attempted sexual abuse under Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-1404 was a forcible sex offense and thus a crime of violence, is affirmed where because the District Court adequately considered the sentencing guidelines in fashioning the defendant's sentence, its sentencing methodology was proper.
