MEMORANDUM**

2

Defendant, Noe Bautista-Obispo, appeals the sentence he received after pleading guilty to a one-count indictment charging illegal reentry into the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. The indictment did not allege a prior felony conviction, and, therefore, it charged defendant with a violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), simple reentry after deportation. See United States v. Campos-Martinez, No. 91-50756, slip. op. 11877 (9th Cir. Oct. 5, 1992). The maximum sentence for that charge is two years in prison. United States v. Arias-Granados, 941 F.2d 996, 997 (9th Cir.1991). Bautista-Obispo received a sentence that exceeded the statutory two-year maximum. Therefore, we VACATE the sentence and REMAND for resentencing.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4
