FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT April 19, 2019 _________________________________ Elisabeth A. Shumaker Clerk of Court UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v. No. 18-2130 (D.C. No. 1:17-CR-00695-JMC-1) CHARMAINE PERALTA, (D. N.M.)

Defendant - Appellant. _________________________________

ORDER AND JUDGMENT* _________________________________

Before MATHESON, BACHARACH, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges. _________________________________

This matter is before us on the United States’ Unopposed Motion for Remand to

the District Court for Resentencing (“Motion”). In the Motion, the United States

concedes that the district court committed reversible procedural error when it failed to

provide a factual basis in the record for using USSG §2A2.2 to determine Ms. Peralta’s

base offense level at sentencing. Accordingly, the parties ask us to remand for

resentencing so that the district court can correct this procedural error.

* After examining the appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist in the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument. This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited, however, for its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1. Upon careful consideration, the Motion is GRANTED. This matter is remanded to

the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico with instructions to vacate its

judgment, and resentence Ms. Peralta in a manner that resolves the aforementioned

procedural error. A copy of this order and judgment shall stand as and for the mandate of

the court.
