United States v. Munoz-Cruz
United States v. Munoz-Cruz
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Juan David Munoz-Cruz appeals from the 57-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction to one count of illegal reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
Because Munoz-Cruz was sentenced under the then-mandatory Sentencing Guidelines, and we cannot reliably determine from the record whether the sentence imposed would have been materially different had the district court known that the Guidelines were advisory, we remand to the sentencing court for further proceedings consistent with United States v. Ameline, 409 F.3d 1073, 1084-85 (9th Cir. 2005) (en banc). See United States v. Moreno-Hernandez, 419 F.3d 906, 916 (9th Cir. 2005).
REMANDED.
