    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

    Nancy E. Larson, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Bret E. Helmer, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Jeanette Mercado, Federal Public Defender’s Office, Northern District of Texas, Dallas, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Jose Luis Builtron Malacara appeals his guilty-plea conviction and 77-month sentence for illegal reentry into the United States following deportation. Builtron Malacara argues that the felony and aggravated felony provisions of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b) are unconstitutional. His constitutional challenge is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998). Although Builtron Malacara contends that Almendarez-Torres was incorrectly decided and that a majority of the Supreme Court would overrule Almendarez-Torres in light of Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), we have repeatedly rejected such arguments on the basis that Almendarez-Torres remains binding. See United States v. Garza-Lopez, 410 F.3d 268, 276 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 126 S.Ct. 298, 163 L.Ed.2d 260 (2005). Builtron Malacara properly concedes that his argument is foreclosed in light of Almendarez-Torres and circuit precedent, but he raises it here to preserve it for further review.

For the first time on appeal, Builtron Malacara argues that the district court erred in enhancing his sentence under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(l)(A)(ii) based on his prior Texas aggravated robbery conviction. Our review is limited to plain error. United States v. Gonzalez-Chavez, 432 F.3d 334, 336 (5th Cir.2005).

Under § 2L1.2(b)(l)(A)(ii), a defendant’s base offense level is increased by 16 levels if he was previously deported after a conviction of a crime of violence. Robbery is an enumerated crime of violence in the application notes to § 2L1.2. § 2L1.2, comment. (n.l(B)(iii)). Builtron Malacara has not shown plain error in the increase of his offense level based on his prior aggravated robbery conviction. See United States v. Santiesteban-Hernandez, 469 F.3d 376, 378, 381 (5th Cir.2006).

AFFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
