United States Ninth Circuit

A enhancement to a sentence for illegal reentry after being deported following a felony conviction is reversed where, in computing defendant's prison sentence, the district court erred in treating his prior state-court conviction in Arizona for discharging a firearm at a residential structure as a "crime of violence" under the sentencing guidelines.
