United States v. Benitez-Perez,
367 F.3d 1200 (9th Cir. May 20, 2004) (Nevada conviction for
a violation of N.R.S. § 453.337.1, which provides that "it
is unlawful for a person to possess for the purpose of sale
. . . any controlled substance classified in schedule I or
II," constitutes a drug trafficking offense as defined
by U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2 for purposes of imposing a 16-level enhancement
to the sentence for illegal re-entry, because the statute
does not reach conduct outside of the Guidelines definition
of a drug-trafficking offense).

jurisdiction: 
Ninth Circuit
