United States v. Isidro-Esteban, No. 16-40340 (5th Cir. 2017)
Annotate this CaseThe Fifth Circuit vacated defendant's sentence after he pleaded guilty to being found unlawfully present in the United States. Defendant objected to the recommendation that his prior convictions be categorized as aggravated felonies based on the definition of a crime of violence. The court held that United States v. Gonzalez-Longoria, 831 F.3d 670 (5th Cir. 2016) (en banc), foreclosed defendant's argument. Gonzalez-Longeria held that defendant's prior convictions were not unconstitutionally vague in light of Johnson v. United States. Accordingly, the court remanded for resentencing with instructions.
