                                                 MEMORANDUM *
ERNESTO FIGUEROA CHAVEZ,

               Defendant - Appellant.



                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Central District of California
                    Stephen V. Wilson, District Judge, Presiding

                            Submitted October 15, 2013 **

Before:        FISHER, GOULD, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

       Ernesto Figueroa Chavez appeals from the district court’s judgment and

challenges his guilty-plea conviction and four-year sentence for conspiracy to

engage in the business of dealing in firearms without a license, in violation of 18




          *
             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
          **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
U.S.C. §§ 371 and 3571(b)(3). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and

we affirm the conviction but vacate and remand for resentencing.

      Figueroa Chavez contends that his plea was invalid because the district court

erred by allegedly failing to advise him of the full immigration consequences of his

plea, including a potential 20-year bar to reentry. This argument fails because the

district court has no obligation to make this advisement. See United States v.

Delgado-Ramos, 635 F.3d 1237, 1238, 1241 (9th Cir. 2011) (per curiam) (district

court does not have a duty “to inform a defendant of the immigration consequences

of his plea”). Contrary to Figueroa Chavez’s argument, nothing in Chaidez v.

United States, 133 S. Ct. 1103 (2013), undermines Delgado-Ramos.

      Figueroa Chavez next contends that the district court committed procedural

error at sentencing when it failed to calculate the Guidelines range. We review for

plain error. See United States v. Waknine, 543 F.3d 546, 551 (9th Cir. 2008). The

district court’s failure to calculate the applicable Guidelines range constituted

“significant procedural error.” Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007).

Because the custodial sentence here was 21 months above the top of the advisory

Guidelines range calculated by the presentence report, we cannot conclude that the

court would have imposed the same sentence absent the error. Accordingly, we

vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing so that the district court’s analysis


                                           2                                     11-50367
can proceed from “an initial determination of the correct Guidelines range.”

United States v. Munoz-Camarena, 631 F.3d 1028, 1031 (9th Cir. 2011) (per

curiam); see also United States v. Hammons, 558 F.3d 1100, 1105-06 (9th Cir.

2009) (district court’s failure to calculate the correct Guidelines range was plain

error).

          In light of our decision, we do not reach Figueroa Chavez’s remaining

challenges to his sentence.

          AFFIRMED in part; VACATED and REMANDED for resentencing.
