Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Nerlin Noel Florez-Florez appeals his sentence following a guilty-plea conviction for illegal reentry into the United States by a previously deported alien in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b). He argues that the district court erred in assessing two criminal history points for a prior attempted robbery conviction while he was a juvenile. Based upon our review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not err in assessing these criminal history points because Florez did not present evidence to the district court indicating that he was released from custody for this offense more than five years before he was arrested for the instant offense. We do not consider facts that were not presented to the district court.
Florez also argues that the district court erred by assessing a criminal history point for his prior conviction for "fare-beating," or avoiding payment of a transportation fare. Although this offense is not specifically listed as an excluded offense under Guideline § 4A1.2(c)(l), we conclude that this offense is similar to a listed offense and that the district court erred by not excluding it.
The erroneous inclusion of this single criminal history point increased Florez's criminal history category from III to TV, which in turn increased the applicable range of imprisonment and therefore resulted in a sentence outside of the correct range. Therefore, we vacate his sentence and remand this case to the district court for resentencing consistent with this opinion.
SENTENCE VACATED; REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING.
