MEMORANDUM**

2
Defendant, Mario Fernandez-Martinez, appeals the sentence he received after pleading guilty to a one-count indictment charging 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 defendant 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).   Fernandez-Martinez received a sentence that exceeded the statutory two-year maximum.   Therefore, we VACATE the sentence and REMAND for resentencing.
