UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Omar Antonio TIRADO-MARTINEZ, Defendant-Appellant, 523 F. App'x 455

MEMORANDUM Omar Antonio Tirado-Martinez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 78-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for importation of cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952, 960(a)(1) and (b)(l)(B)(ii); and possession with intent to distribute cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(l)(A)(ii)(II). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we remand for resentencing. Tirado-Martinez contends that the district court erred by failing to grant a role adjustment for his minor role in the offense.

Because the district court failed adequately to explain why it rejected the probation officer’s recommendation for a sentence below the Guidelines range, which was based on Tirado-Martinez’s individual circumstances and his role in the offense, we remand for resentencing. In light of this disposition, we do not reach Tirado-Martinez’s other arguments. VACATED and REMANDED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
