United States v. Alvarez-Hernandez, __ F.3d __, 2007 WL 601991 (9th Cir. Feb. 28, 2007) (a sentence that has been suspended in full [i.e. defendant served no time in prison] does not trigger 12 level sentence enhancement under U.S.S.G. 2L1.2(b)(1)(B), for having a previous conviction for "a felony drug trafficking offense for which the sentence imposed was 13 months or less").

Lopez-Molina v. Ashcroft, 368 F.3d 1206, 1211 (9th Cir. 2004) (finding sufficient reason to believe the alien had committed illegal acts underlying previous drug trafficking arrest because the government submitted documents describing the police surveillance of the alien and the alien's subsequent attempt to escape with 147 pounds of marijuana).

United States v. Snellenberger, 480 F.3d 1187 (9th Cir. April 3, 2007) (a minute order, coupled with a charging document, is not sufficient under Shepard v. United States, 544 U.S. 13 (2005), to establish the nature of a prior conviction as a crime of violence for purposes of sentence enhancement for a conviction of illegal reentry after deportation); see United States v. Diaz-Argueta, 447 F.3d 1167, 1169 (9th Cir. 2006) (a minute order is "not a judicial record that can be relied upon" to establish the nature of a prior conviction).

United States v. Gonzales, 484 F.3d 712 (5th Cir. 2007) (Texas conviction for delivery of a controlled substance, in violation of V.T.C.A., Health & Safety Code 481.112, was not a drug-trafficking offense for illegal re-entry sentence enhancement purposes, since the definition of "deliver" includes solicitation, and solicitation is not included as a non-substantive offense that can trigger a sentence enhancement under the 2004 version of U.S.S.G. 2L1.2).

United States v. Mungia-Portillo, 484 F.3d 813, 816 (5th Cir. Apr. 17, 2007) ("In deciding whether a prior statute of conviction qualifies as a crime of violence, this court has alternatively employed (1) a "common sense approach," defining the offense according to its "ordinary, contemporary, [and] common meaning," or (2) a "categorical approach," defining the offense according to a "generic, contemporary definition." Compare United States v. Izaguirre-Flores, 405 F.3d 270, 273-74 (5th Cir.2005), with United States v.
