United States Ninth Circuit
US v. PIMENTEL-FLORES, 02-10353
A "crime of violence" under the new U.S.S.G. section 2L1.2 need not be an "aggravated felony" within the meaning of the statute to qualify for a 16-level enhancement, but remand is required where the government did not provide evidence of the statute of prior conviction.
