Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Florida
_________________________
(July 8, 2008)
ON REMAND FROM THE
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
Before TJOFLAT, ANDERSON and BARKETT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
This case is on remand from the United States Supreme Court, Arreguin-
Aguilar v. United States, ___ S. Ct. ___,
2008 WL 460875, 1 (2008), which
vacated our opinion Arreguin-Aguilar, 257 Fed. Appx. 152 (11th Cir. 2007) (per
curiam). In that opinion, we affirmed the sentencing decision of the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Florida to increase Arreguin’s base-level
offense by 16 levels on the ground that he was deported after being convicted of
carrying a concealed weapon, a crime which we determined to be a crime of
violence under the United States Sentencing Guidelines. To come to that
conclusion, we relied on a line of Eleventh Circuit cases interpreting U.S.S.G. §
4B1.1. See United States v. Gilbert,
138 F.3d 1371, 1372 (11th Cir.1998); United
States v. Williams,
435 F.3d 1350, 1354 (11th Cir.2006). That section defines a
crime of violence one way. Arreguin, however, was sentenced under U.S.S.G. §
2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii), which defines a crime of violence in slightly different terms.
When Arreguin petitioned the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari, the
Solicitor General filed a brief arguing that § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) differs materially
from § 4B1.1, and that the district court’s decision to increase the base level of his
offense by 16 levels was therefore a plain error. The Supreme Court vacated our
2
judgment affirming the district court and remanded the case “for consideration in
light of the position asserted by the Solicitor General in his brief for the United
States filed April 21, 2008.” Arreguin-Aguilar v. United States, ___ S. Ct. ___,
2008 WL 460875, 1 (2008).
On June 5, 2008, Arreguin moved for expedited review of the issue because,
if the Solicitor General is correct, he may be due for release in a matter of days.
We therefore GRANT his motion for expedited review, VACATE the
district court’s judgment, and REMAND for further consideration in light of the
Solicitor General’s brief.
