Garcia-Antonio contends that the district court erred in applying a 16-level
enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) on the basis of his prior
California conviction for lewd and lascivious acts upon a child. The presentence
report, to which Garcia-Antonio did not object, quoted from Garcia-Antonio’s
state-court plea agreement, in which he admitted facts that satisfy the generic
definition of sexual abuse of a minor. See United States v. Castro, 607 F.3d 566,
569-70 (9th Cir. 2010). Under these circumstances, the district court did not
plainly err in applying the enhancement. See United States v. Gonzalez-Aparicio,
663 F.3d 419, 432-33 (9th Cir. 2011).
Garcia-Antonio also contends that the appeal is moot because he has been
released and deported. This contention fails because he is still serving his term of
supervised release. See United States v. Rivas-Gonzalez, 384 F.3d 1034, 1042 (9th
Cir. 2004).
AFFIRMED.
