Heading: Context And Purpose

Text: Even if I were to accept that the chameleon quality of the word arrest in various legal contexts meant that the word was ambiguous, that conclusion would simply lead us back to a consideration of the canons of construction and the overall purpose of the guideline in question to resolve the matter. See, e.g., Rouse v. Law Offices of Rory Clark, 603 F.3d 699, 705 (9th Cir.2010) (also recognizing that legislative history may be helpful to construe an ambiguous statute). For the reasons stated above, in Sections IV.B. and C., consideration of the canons of construction and the overall purpose of U.S.S.G. § 4A1.2(a)(2) leads to the conclusion that arrest within the meaning of that guideline does not include citation.
