UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
DARIO RUBIO-GARCIA,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 5:04-CR-1108-ALL
--------------------
Before JONES, WIENER, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Dario Rubio-Garcia appeals from the sentence imposed
following his guilty-plea conviction for illegal entry, in
violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(1).
Rubio-Garcia argues that the district court erred when it
classified a prior conviction for driving under the influence of
alcohol (DUI) as a felony offense that warranted a four-level
offense level enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(D)(2003).
He also argues that the district court reversibly erred when it
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
No. 04-41503

sentenced him pursuant to the mandatory Guidelines scheme that
was stricken in United States v. Booker, 125 S. Ct. 738 (2005).
While the record indicates that a document was provided to
the district court to support the probation department’s
characterization of Rubio-Garcia’s prior DUI offense as a felony
that warranted the U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b(1)(D) enhancement, the
document is not in the record. Thus, this court cannot review
the document to resolve whether the district court erred when it
relied upon the document for the enhancement. See Shepard v.
United States, 125 S. Ct. 1254, 1257 (2005); United States v.
Garza-Lopez, 410 F.3d 268, 273-74 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 126
S. Ct. 298 (2005) (citation omitted). Because the document is
missing from this court’s record, the only support for the
enhancement is the assertions that are set forth in the
presentence report. For enhancement purposes, a district court
may not rely solely on the PSR’s characterization of the offense.
See Garza-Lopez, 410 F.3d at 274. Additionally, the probation
department described the document that was allegedly provided to
the district court as a computer printout. A “computer printout”
is not a charging document, a written plea agreement, a
transcript of plea colloquy, or a explicit factual finding by the
trial judge to which the defendant assented. Therefore, based
upon the probation department’s description of the document and
the authority set forth in Shepard, 125 S. Ct. at 1257, and
Garza-Lopez, 410 F.3d at 274, the district court erred when it
No. 04-41503

determined that Rubio-Garcia’s prior DUI conviction warranted the
U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2((b)(1)(D) enhancement.
Because this court is vacating Rubio-Garcia’s sentence due
to a misapplication of the Guidelines, it is not necessary to
address Rubio-Garcia’s Booker claim. See Garza-Lopez, 410 F.3d
at 275 n.2.
We therefore VACATE Rubio-Garcia’s sentence and REMAND for
resentencing consistent with this opinion and the Supreme Court’s
opinion in Booker.
