FILED AUG 25 2014 FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT JOSE LUIS MEDINA-LARA, Petitioner, No. 13-70491 Agency No. A079-361-360 v. ORDER ERIC H. HOLDER, JR., Attorney General, Respondent. Before: NOONAN, HAWKINS, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges. For reasons to be set forth in a disposition which will follow in due course, we grant Medina Lara s petition for review because the government did not meet its burden to show that his California convictions constitute predicate offenses for purposes of removability under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2). We, therefore, order the United States to release Medina Lara from custody immediately. SO ORDERED.
