It is undisputed at Calia Penal Code section 69 is not a categorical crime involvingmora tde (I.J at 5-6). Hoever, the Iiation udge d hat, under e modedcategocal approac, he record of conviction esalises e respondents oense as onenvving moal itude ecause e respndent ped to Cont I chgng im wi resstng

See CPC 69 emphasisadded However, we note hat te porion f he staute punishng resistance by "rce orviolence s not diise as t weher inju occued Indeed, resulant inju is nt element of e oense.

Becase neither e teat o use of deady rce nor injur s aneleent of e respondent's ense nderDescamps we ct apy te mded cateorical

Fuer susequent to the Immgraon udge's decision he ted tates Co of Appeals te Nin Circuit where is case ises, invalidated te rd step of e SilvaTrevinoanalyss.
