Before: FERNANDEZ and IKUTA, Circuit Judges, and SESSIONS,* District Judge.
The disposition filed herein on November 30, 2018, is amended as follows:
(1) After the citation that follows penultimate sentence on page five of the
disposition we add:
Moreover, Green’s Washington cocaine conspiracy
conviction was properly treated as a felony for career
offender purposes under the United States Sentencing
Guidelines. See USSG §§4B1.1, 4B1.2 (1997). That is,
* The Honorable William K. Sessions III, United States District Judge for the District of Vermont, sitting by designation. it was legally proper to use the maximum authorized
sentence for his crime of conviction under Washington
law rather than the actual sentence that was imposed by
Washington in 1995. See United States v. Rodriquez,
553 U.S. 377, 390–92, 391 n.5, 128 S. Ct. 1783,
1792–93, 1792 n.5, 170 L. Ed. 2d 719 (2008); United
States v. Crawford, 520 F.3d 1072, 1080 (9th Cir. 2008);
United States v. Murillo, 422 F.3d 1152, 1154 (9th Cir.
2005). Furthermore, the later cases relied upon by
Green8 do not affect our law regarding his federal
sentence, even though they can affect federal career
offender calculations that rely upon Washington
convictions under Washington’s newer sentencing
scheme.9
(2) At the bottom of page five, we add the following footnotes: 8 Moncrieffe v. Holder, 569 U.S. 184, 194–95, 198, 133 S. Ct. 1678, 1686–87, 1689, 185 L. Ed. 2d 727 (2013); Carachuri-Rosendo v. Holder, 560 U.S. 563, 582, 130 S. Ct. 2577, 2589, 177 L. Ed. 2d 68 (2010); United States v. Valencia-Mendoza, 912 F.3d 1215, 1222–24 (9th Cir. 2019).
2 9 Compare Wash. Rev. Code § 9.94A.505(2)(b) (2007), and Wash Rev. Code. § 9.94A.535(2), (3) (2007), with Wash. Rev. Code § 9.94A.120(7) (1995), and Wash. Rev. Code § 9.94A.390(2) (1995).
With the above amendments, the panel has voted unanimously to deny the
petition for rehearing. The petition for rehearing en banc was circulated to the
judges of the court, and no judge requested a vote for en banc consideration.
The petition for rehearing and the petition for rehearing en banc are
DENIED.
No subsequent petition for rehearing or rehearing en banc will be
entertained.
