Federico Franco-Vasquez appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea to being an illegal alien found in the United States after deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Franco-Vasquez contends that the district court should not have counted his 2007 conviction for driving under the influence as part of his criminal history because the offense occurred during the commission of the instant offense of illegal reentry after deportation. This argument is foreclosed by United States v. Cruz-Gramajo, 570 F.3d 1162 (9th Cir. 2009).
