v.
Gilberto CORTEZ-ALVAREZ, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 92-30005.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted March 2, 1993.
Decided March 5, 1993.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Western Washington; No. CR-91-1047-01-JET, Jack E. Tanner, District Judge, Presiding.

W.D.Wash.

VACATED AND REMANDED.

Before EUGENE A. WRIGHT, CANBY and REINHARDT, Circuit Judges.

ORDER**

Gilberto Cortez-Alvarez appeals his sentence following his jury conviction for illegal reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Having reviewed the record in light of his supplemental authority, United States v. Gonzalez-Medina, 976 F.2d 570 (9th Cir. 1992), we conclude that his sentence exceeds the statutory maximum for the crime proved, violation of § 1326(a), and that invited error does not bar his appeal. His sentence is VACATED and the case REMANDED for resentencing pursuant to § 1326(a) and the requirements of Gonzalez-Medina.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); Ninth Circuit Rule 34-4
