The Honorable Edward M. Chen, District Judge for the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of California, sitting by designation.
district court applied the enhancement because it concluded that Ceballos-
Castillo’s prior conviction under Oregon’s third degree rape statute, Or. Rev. Stat.
§ 163.355, was a categorical match for the generic federal definition of statutory
rape and, therefore, a “crime of violence.” U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A).
While this appeal was pending, this court clarified that the generic federal
definition of “statutory rape” includes as an element a four-year age difference
between the victim and the defendant. United States v. Gomez, 732 F.3d 971 (9th
Cir. 2013), as amended United States v. Gomez, -- F.3d --, 2014 WL 1623725 (9th
Cir. April 24, 2014). Because Oregon’s statutory rape law does not include this
element, it is broader than the federal definition. Therefore, we vacate Ceballos-
Castillo’s sentence and remand for resentencing.
Vacated and Remanded.
