The Honorable George Caram Steeh III, United States District Judge
for the Eastern District of Michigan, sitting by designation.
Appellant Pedro Anaya-Granados appeals his 18 month sentence for illegal
reentry. For the reasons stated below, we AFFIRM the district court.
1. The California statute governing driving under the influence of alcohol
with three or more prior DUI convictions within the past 10 years is a wobbler.
People v. Martinez, 62 Cal. App. 4th 1454, 1463 (1998). Wobbler offenses may be
classified as either a felony or a misdemeanor. Ewing v. California, 538 U.S. 11,
16 (2003). They are presumptively felonies, however, and remain felonies unless
discretion is actually exercised to make the offense a misdemeanor. Id. Examples
of this discretion are listed in Cal. Penal Code § 17(b). Anaya-Granados argues that
his 2008 offense should be a misdemeanor under § 17(b)(1), which states that a
wobbler is a misdemeanor for all purposes “[a]fter a judgment imposing a
punishment other than imprisonment in the state prison.” Unfortunately for
Appellant, in California a suspended sentence and probation do not result in entry
of a judgment within the meaning of Cal. Penal Code § 17(b)(1). United States v.
Robinson, 967 F.2d 287, 293 (9th Cir. 1992), recognized as overruled on other
grounds by Ortega-Mendez v. Gonzales, 450 F.3d 1010, 1018-20 (9th Cir. 2006).
Anaya-Granados’ 2008 offense is, therefore, properly classified as a felony. The
2
district court correctly applied the four level enhancement provided by USSG §
2L1.2(b)(3)(D).
2. A district court’s denial of a Fast Track Guideline reduction is not
reviewed for procedural reasonableness, but only as part of this Court’s review of
the substantive reasonableness of the sentence. United States v. Ellis, 641 F.3d 411,
421 (9th Cir. 2011). Although the district court did not grant Anaya-Granados a
Fast Track Guideline reduction, the 18-month sentence, at the low end of Anaya-
Granados’ guideline range, is reasonable given his deportation history and prior
convictions for illegal reentry and drunk driving.
