UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

KORNELIA CHRISTINA LOCKWOOD,
also known as Kornelia Christina Haffner,
also known as Kornelia Christina Stacer,

                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Western District of Texas
                        USDC No. EP-00-CR-1161-ALL-H

Before POLITZ, WIENER, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*

       Kornelia Christina Lockwood appeals the 41-month term of imprisonment

imposed following her conviction of being found in the United States following

removal, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. She contends that the district court erred
by increasing her offense level 16 levels pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)

       *
        Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
based on her prior felony conviction of driving while intoxicated (“DWI”). She
notes that under this court’s decision in United States v. Chapa-Garza1 that a Texas

felony DWI conviction is not a “crime of violence” as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 16(b)

and thus is not an aggravated felony for the purpose of a 16-level adjustment under
U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A). The Government has filed an unopposed motion to

remand for resentencing acknowledging that the district court, which did not have

the benefit of Chapa-Garza when it sentenced Lockwood, erred in applying the 16-

level adjustment. The motion is GRANTED.
       Lockwood also contends that the district court erred by enhancing her
sentence based on her prior aggravated felony conviction because the fact of that
conviction was not alleged in her indictment. Lockwood’s contention is foreclosed

by Almendarez-Torres v. United States2 and is moot in light of the resolution of her
previous argument.

       The Government’s motion is GRANTED, the sentence is VACATED, and
this case is REMANDED for resentencing in light of Chapa-Garza.
