UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

                                          Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

ARMANDO ROJAS-SAMANIEGO

                                          Defendant-Appellant

                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Southern District of Texas
                        USDC No. 5:05-PO-1125-ALL

Before JOLLY, BENAVIDES, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
      Armando Rojas-Samaniego (Rojas) appeals the 15-month sentence imposed
upon revocation of unsupervised probation. As the Government concedes, the
sentence was plainly erroneous because the maximum sentence that could have
been lawfully imposed was six months. See 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a); 18 U.S.C.
§§ 3551(a), 3565(a)(2). The sentence is VACATED and the case is REMANDED
for resentencing. See United States v. Coil, 442 F.3d 912, 914 (5th Cir. 2006).

      *
      Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion
should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
