his guilty plea conviction for illegal re-entry, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Ornelas-Quintero contends that the district court erred in imposing an enhancement for a prior aggravated felony pursuant to U.S. S.G. § 2L1.2. Specifically, Ornelas-Quintero contends that his 1994 conviction under Cal. Health & Safety Code § 11350(a) was not an aggravated felony. Because a violation of Cal. Health & Safety Code § 11350(a) is punishable by more than one year imprisonment, we conclude that the district court properly determined that Ornelas-Quintero's prior conviction was an aggravated felony. See Cal.Penal Code § 18; United States v. Rios-Beltran, 361 F.3d 1204, 1209-10 (9th Cir.2004).
AFFIRMED.
