United States v. Demarkus Benavides
Opinion
MEMORANDUM ** .
Demarkus Dante Benavides appeals the 87-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). Benavides challenges the district court’s conclusion that his prior burglary offense is a crime of violence under the residual clause of U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2. In light of the government’s concession in its August 17, 2015, supplemental brief that Johnson v. United States, — U.S. —, 135 S.Ct. 2551, 192 L.Ed.2d 569 (2015), applies to the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, Benavides’ sentence is hereby vacated and the matter is remanded to the district court for resentencing forthwith. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
VACATED and REMANDED for re-sentencing.
