United States v. Huitron-Rocha, ___ F.3d ___, 2014 WL 5801404 (9th Cir. Nov. 7, 2014) (California Health and Safety Code 11352(a) is a divisible statute, so the modified categorical analysis can be used to examine the record of conviction to determine if the specific controlled substance involved in the case is identified and if so is on the federal list); Coronado v. Holder, 759 F.3d 977, 983"85 & n. 4 (9th Cir.2014) (California Health and Safety Code 11377(a), possession of a controlled substance, is a divisible statute, within the meaning of Descamps, because the statute contains a listing of alternative controlled substances and because California law confirms that the controlled substance is an essential element of the crime); United States v. De La Torre"Jimenez, No. 13"50438, ___ F.3d ___, 2014 WL 5786715 (9th Cir. Nov. 7, 2014) (California Health and Safety Code 11351 is materially indistinguishable from Health and Safety Code 11377(a), so Coronado controls and the modified categorical approach applies).
