1Opinion of the Court
HENRY, Circuit Judge.
We are asked to decide whether unlawful use of means of transportation (“UUMT”), as defined in Ariz.Rev.Stat. § 13-1803(A)(1), is a “crime of violence” under 18 U.S.C. § 16(b). We conclude it is not. Accordingly, exercising jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a), we reverse the district court’s imposition of an eight-level “aggravated felony” enhancement under United States Sentencing Guidelines (“USSG”) § 2L1.2(b)(l)(C), vacate the defendant’s sentence, and remand for re-sentencing.
