UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                                Plaintiff-Appellee,

                                   versus

JESUS GONZALES-DIAZ,

                                                Defendant-Appellant.

            Appeal from the United States District Court
                 For the Southern District of Texas
                           (H-01-CR-625-1)

                             February 13, 2003

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

      Jesus Gonzales-Diaz pleaded guilty to illegal reentry into the

United States after being deported.          Gonzales-Diaz was sentenced

using a base offense level that had been increased by 16 levels

pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A) because his deportation

occurred after conviction for bodily injury to a child, under TEX.

PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.04(a)(3).          Gonzales-Diaz objected to this

      *
       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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
enhancement arguing that a felony offense of bodily injury to a

child is not crime of violence or an aggravated felony.   In United

States v. Gracia-Cantu, this court held, under plain error review,

that bodily injury of a child is neither a crime of violence nor an

aggravated felony as defined by the guidelines. 1   Accordingly, we

VACATE Gonzales-Diaz’s sentence and REMAND for resentencing.

     VACATE and REMAND FOR RESENTENCING.
