Opinion

JOSE LUIS MEDINA-LARA, Petitioner, v. ERIC H. HOLDER, JR., Attorney General, Respondent. No. 13-70491 United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit August 25, 2014

Agency No. A079-361-360.

Before: NOONAN, HAWKINS, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges.

ORDER

For reasons to be set forth in a disposition which will follow in due course, we grant Medina–Lara's petition for review because the government did not meet its burden to show that his California convictions constitute predicate offenses for purposes of removability under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2). We, therefore, order the United States to release Medina–Lara from custody immediately.

SO ORDERED.
