United States v. Castillo-Marin, 684 F.3d 914, *920 (9th Cir. Jul. 3, 2012) (Our precedent is clear that a district court may not rely on a PSR's factual description of a prior offense to determine whether the defendant was convicted of a crime of violence, notwithstanding the defendant's failure to object to the PSR. . . . Thus, to the extent the district court relied on the PSR's factual description of Castillo"Marin's prior offense to determine that Castillo"Marin had been convicted of a crime of violence, it plainly erred.); United States v. Corona"Sanchez, 291 F.3d 1201, 1212, 1214 (9th Cir.2002) (en banc) (A presentence report reciting the facts of the crime is insufficient evidence to establish that the defendant pled guilty to the elements of the generic definition of a crime when the statute of conviction is broader than the generic definition, even though the defendant did not object to the PSR's recitation.) (citing United States v. Franklin, 235 F.3d 1165, 1172 (9th Cir.2000); United States v. Potter, 895 F.2d 1231, 1237"38 (9th Cir.1990)); Gonzalez"Aparicio, 663 F.3d at 432"33 (observing that a sentencing court may not turn to the PSR for a narrative description of the underlying facts of the prior conviction, notwithstanding that the defense made no objections to the PSR); see also United States v. Chavaria"Angel, 323 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir.2003) (observing that in this circuit, district courts may not rely exclusively on ... the pre-sentence report as evidence of a prior conviction).").
