United States v. Leal-Vega, 680 F.3d 1160 (9th Cir. May 30, 2012) (California conviction for violation of Health & Safety Code 11351, possession of a controlled substance for sale, is not categorically a drug trafficking offense for illegal re-entry sentencing purposes, because it is possible to be convicted under this statute for possession of a substances not listed on the federal controlled substances schedule; charging language made clear that offense involved a controlled substance, applying the modified categorical analysis), agreeing with United States v. Sanchez"Garcia, 642 F.3d 658, 661"62 (8th Cir. 2011).

NOTE: Although refusing to follow similar cases in the immigration context, the Ninth Circuit found that under the sentencing guidelines, the term "controlled substance" also only refers to substances listed in the Federal schedules.
