United States Ninth Circuit

Sentence for illegal reentry into the U.S. is vacated and remanded for resentencing where New Jersey's aggravated assault offense, contained in N.J. Stat. Ann. Section 2C:12-1(b)(1), does not qualify as a federal generic aggravated assault and is not a crime of violence eligible for a sentencing enhancement under U.S.S.G. section 2L1.2.
