ANGEL DANILO VASQUEZ-
SALGUERO,

              Defendant - Appellant.

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                             for the District of Arizona
                     Susan R. Bolton, District Judge, Presiding

                       Argued and Submitted April 11, 2011
                            San Francisco, California

Before: FERNANDEZ and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges, and WELLS, Senior
District Judge.**

       Angel Danilo Vasquez-Salguero appeals the district court's application of a

sixteen-level enhancement to his sentence for illegal reentry after deportation. The

       **
             The Honorable Lesley Wells, Senior District Judge for the Northern
District of Ohio, sitting by designation.
district court concluded, without analysis, that Vasquez-Salguero’s prior burglary

conviction under Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-1507 qualified as a crime of

violence.

      We have previously held that Arizona burglary does not categorically match

the generic federal definition. See United States v. Bonat, 106 F.3d 1472, 1475-76

(9th Cir. 1997). Therefore, whether the appellant’s prior conviction qualifies as a

crime of violence depends upon application of the modified categorical approach

described in Taylor v. United States, 495 U.S. 575, 602, 110 S. Ct. 2143, 109
L. Ed. 2d 607 (1990). The district court’s failure to conduct this analysis was plain

error. Therefore, we reverse and remand for resentencing on an open record

pursuant to United States v. Matthews, 278 F.3d 880, 889 (9th Cir. 2002)(en banc).

      REVERSED AND REMANDED.
