Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

The United States appeals the sentence imposed following Alberto Aguilar Inzu-na’s guilty plea to being an illegal alien found in the United States following deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. The district court imposed a suspended sentence and then placed the defendant on probation for five years with a condition that he spend twelve months in custody during the probationary period. We reverse the district court and vacate the sentence for the reasons stated in United States v. Murillo, 548 F.3d 1256 (9th Cir.2008) (explaining that district courts do not have the power to suspend the imposition of a sentence, nor can a district court impose a constant period of imprisonment as a condition of probation); see also United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual, Ch. 7, Part A, § 2(a) (2007). We remand with instructions that the district court impose an appropriate sentence in accordance with Murillo.

SENTENCE VACATED; REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING.
