NOT FOR PUBLICATION. (See Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure Rule 36-3)
David P. Curnow, Esq., Office of the U.S. Attorney, San Diego, CA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Kasha K. Pollreisz, Esq., Federal Defenders of San Diego, Inc., San Diego, CA, for Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, M. James Lorenz, District Judge, Presiding.
Before REINHARDT, RYMER and HAWKINS, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Javier Perez-Tapia appeals his 77-month sentence following his guilty plea conviction for attempted entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we remand the sentence.
Because appellant 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. Hermoso-Garcia, 413 F.3d 1085, 1089-90 (9th Cir.2005).
SENTENCE REMANDED.
