U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

§ 11379(a), is overbroad under Mathis v. United States, 136 S. Ct. 2243 (2016).
This is incorrect. This Court held in United States v. Barragan that Section 11379
is a divisible statute as to the controlled substance involved in the offense. 871
F.3d 689, 715 (9th Cir. 2017).
To determine which element of Section 11379 Duran Isordia was convicted
of, we may under the modified categorical approach, as described in United States
v. Torre-Jimenez, 771 F.3d 1163, 1167 (9th Cir. 2014), consider the complaint,
abstract of judgment, and docket sheet that were submitted in this case. They
established that the offense was selling, transporting, or offering to sell
methamphetamine, which is within the coverage of the Federal Controlled
Substance Act, as we held in United States v. Rodriguez-Gamboa, __ F.3d __ (9th
Cir. 2020). Duran Isordia’s argument about solicitation was not raised before the
Board and is in any event foreclosed by Mielewczyk v. Holder, 575 F.3d 992,
996–98, 996 n.1 (9th Cir. 2009).
The words “as charged” are not necessary to establish the crime to which
Duran Isordia pleaded “when the record is clear,” Torre-Jimenez, 771 F.3d at
1168–69, as it is in this case.
The petition for review is DENIED.
