UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff—Appellee, v. Antonio SANCHEZ-ANDRADE, aka Juan Ramon Garcia, Defendant—Appellant.
    No. 04-50180.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    
      Submitted May 2, 2005.
    
    Decided June 10, 2005.
    Kevin Lally, Esq., Office of the U.S. Attorney, Los Angeles, CA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Jerry Sies, Los Angeles, CA, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before: LEAVY, FISHER, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

The district court did not err by denying Appellant’s motion to suppress. California law did not require the officers to issue a citation for the vehicle code violation giving rise to the inventory search of Appellant’s vehicle. See People v. Burch, 188 Cal.App.3d 172, 232 Cal.Rptr. 502 (1986). The failure of police to cite Appellant for driving without a license does not render the evidence subject to suppression in this case. Accordingly, Sanchez-Adrade’s conviction is AFFIRMED.

Because Sanchez-Andrade did not challenge his sentence on Sixth Amendment grounds in the district court, we grant a limited remand pursuant to United States v. Ameline, 409 F.3d 1073, —-— (9th Cir.2005) (en banc).

AFFIRMED in part; REMANDED in part.
