Heading: The 2007 Marijuana Conviction

Text: The Government admits that Montana’s definition of marijuana is substantially similar to the Arizona definition we considered in Bautista. The Government also “concedes that Bautista is controlling as to House’s first argument regarding his marijuana conviction,” and agrees with House that “this Court should remand for resentencing” without treating House’s marijuana conviction as a qualifying offense. We accept the government’s concession, reverse the district court’s application of the sentencing enhancement based on House’s 2007 marijuana conviction, and remand for resentencing. Cf. United States v. Halamek, 5 F.4th 1081, 1091 (9th Cir. 2021) (accepting Government’s concession as to sentencing error and remanding for resentencing).
