Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

               Gaylon R. Dahn pled guilty to two counts of inducing

illegal entry in violation of 8 U.S.C. ยง 1342(a)(1)(A)(iv) (2000).

He was sentenced following the Supreme Court's opinion in United

States   v.     Booker,    
543 U.S. 220
     (2005).         The   district    court

sentenced Dahn to two concurrent terms of forty-eight months of

imprisonment. Dahn appeals, alleging his sentence following Booker

violated his due process rights, as informed by ex post facto

principles.       This claim is foreclosed by our recent decision in

United    States    v.    Davenport,      
445 F.3d 366
    (4th   Cir.     2006).

Accordingly, we affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the

facts    and    legal    contentions     are     adequately        presented     in   the

materials      before     the    court   and     argument        would   not    aid   the

decisional process.



                                                                               AFFIRMED
