United States v.
Sanchez, 179 F.Supp.2d 689 (W.D.Tex. Dec. 26, 2001) (Texas
felony conviction for possession of cocaine for personal use
was not an aggravated felony under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(C)
(effective Nov. 1, 2001), requiring eight-level increase in
offense level of illegal re-entry conviction, since the new
Guidelines in U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2, comment (n.1(B)(iii)), explicitly
define "drug trafficking offense" to exclude convictions
for simple possession, felonies or not), vacated by United
States v. Balderas-Sanchez, 57 Fed.Appx. 212 (5th Cir. Jan.
8, 2003).
