**

Though the charging document alleged Petitioner Carlos Guillen-Valdivia’s victim was a minor, his plea of nolo contendere to a single misdemeanor count of sexual battery in violation of California Penal Code Section 243.4(d) was not, under either the categorical or modified categorical approaches, a conviction for an aggravated felony because nothing in the record proves Guíllen-Valdivia “necessarily admitted” the charges as alleged in the charging document. See United States v. Vidal, 504 F.3d 1072, 1087 (9th Cir.2007) (en banc). Accordingly the petition for review is GRANTED and we REMAND Guillen-Valdivia’s case to the Board of Immigration Appeals for further proceedings.

PETITION GRANTED.
