Party Name: UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Marcelino AGUILAR-REYES, Defendant-Appellee.
Attorney: Dominic Lanza, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Phoenix, AZ, for the plaintiff-appellant. Brian I. Rademacher, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Tucson, AZ, for the defendant-appellee.
Argued and Submitted July 13, 2011.
Dominic Lanza, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Phoenix, AZ, for the plaintiff-appellant.
Brian I. Rademacher, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Tucson, AZ, for the defendant-appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, Roslyn O. Silver, Chief District Judge, Presiding. D.Ct. No. 2:09-CR-01119-ROS.
The government appeals the district court's resentencing of Defendant Aguilar-Reyes, arguing that the district court did not have jurisdiction to resentence more than fourteen days after sentencing, under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 35(a). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 18 U.S.C. § 3742(b)(1), and we vacate the amended judgment.
On March 9, 2008, Arizona police arrested Aguilar-Reyes for illegally transporting aliens. He pled guilty to the Arizona state charge of " Attempt to Commit Smuggling," in violation of Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-2319. Aguilar-Reyes was sentenced to three years of probation and deported to Mexico.
On August 4, 2009, police found Aguilar-Reyes in Arizona, driving a vehicle containing five illegal aliens. A grand jury indicted Aguilar-Reyes on one count of reentry of removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), as enhanced by 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(1). Aguilar-Reyes pled guilty, without a plea agreement. The presentence report concluded that Aguilar-Reyes's 2008 state conviction was an " alien smuggling offense," which triggered a 16-level enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(vii). Aguilar-Reyes objected to the presentence report, arguing that the state charge to which he pled guilty did not support the 16-level enhancement.
On March 1, 2010, the district court overruled Aguilar-Reyes's objection and sentenced him to imprisonment for thirty-three months, applying the 16-level enhancement. Aguilar-Reyes timely appealed that final judgment. This court stayed that separate appeal pending the result of this appeal.
