United States Ninth Circuit

Sentence for illegal re-entry in violation of 8 U.S.C. section 1326 is vacated and remanded for resentencing, as remand is required where, in light of a post-sentencing amendment to the application notes to U.S.S.G. section 3E1.1, the Government improperly withheld a motion for a third-level reduction for acceptance of responsibility.
