Submitted July 19, 2010 **

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). We have jurisdiction under 28
U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm, but remand to correct the judgment.
Gonzalez-Mondragon contends that his criminal history was miscalculated
because the district court counted the sentence for offenses committed after he
illegally reentered, but before he was “found” by the immigration authorities, as
criminal history under U.S.S.G. § 4A1.2 rather than relevant conduct under
U.S.S.G. § 1B1.3. This contention is foreclosed by United States v. Cruz-
Gramajo, 570 F.3d 1162, 1164 (9th Cir. 2009) (affirming the inclusion of
Defendants’ intervening state law crimes in criminal history calculation); see also
United States v. Marler, 527 F.3d 874, 877-881 (9th Cir. 2008).
We need not decide whether Gonzalez-Mongradon’s possession of false
documents offense constitutes relevant conduct because he failed to show that he
would not have received a criminal history point for his state drug conviction. See
Cruz-Gramajo, 570 F.3d at 1174.
In accordance with United States v. Rivera-Sanchez, 222 F.3d 1057, 1062
(9th Cir. 2000), we remand with instructions that the district court delete from the
judgment the incorrect reference to 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b). See United States v.
Herrera-Blanco, 232 F.3d 715, 719 (9th Cir. 2000) (remanding to delete the
2 08-50315
reference to § 1326(b) because it is a sentence enhancement and not a separate
punishable offense).
AFFIRMED; REMANDED to correct the judgment.
