Lead Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

The district court did not err by denying Appellant’s motion to suppress. California law did not require the officers to issue a citation for the vehicle code violation giving rise to the inventory search of Appellant’s vehicle. See People v. Burch, 188 Cal.App.3d 172 , 232 Cal.Rptr. 502 (1986). The failure of police to cite Appellant for driving without a license does not render the evidence subject to suppression in this case. Accordingly, Sanchez-Adrade’s conviction is AFFIRMED.

Because Sanchez-Andrade did not challenge his sentence on Sixth Amendment grounds in the district court, we grant a limited remand pursuant to United States v. Ameline, 409 F.3d 1073 , —-— (9th Cir.2005) (en banc).

AFFIRMED in part; REMANDED in part.
