MEMORANDUM**

2
Mario Martinez-Chavo appeals the sentence he received after he pleaded guilty to a one-count indictment charging him with illegal reentry into the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.   The indictment did not allege a prior felony conviction and, therefore, it charged Martinez-Chavo with a violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), simple reentry after deportation.   See United States v. Campos-Martinez, No. 91-50756, slip op. 11877 (9th Cir.  Oct. 5, 1992).  "The maximum sentence for that charge is two years in prison."   United States v. Arias-Granados, 941 F.2d 996, 997 (9th Cir.1991).   Martinez-Chavo received a sentence that exceeded the statutory two-year maximum.   Therefore, we vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing.

SENTENCE VACATED AND REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING.
