MEMORANDUM **

Gosada Munoz appeals the 60-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we vacate and remand for resentencing.

Munoz contends that the district court violated Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure Rule 32(i)(l)(A) by failing to verify that he had reviewed and discussed the presentence report with counsel. The record reflects, and the government acknowledges, that the court failed to comply with Rule 32(i)(l)(A). See United States v. Soltero, 510 F.3d 858, 862-63 (9th Cir.2007). Munoz represents that he did not have the opportunity to review the revised presentence report materials and identifies arguments that he would have presented to the court if he had been given the opportunity. Accordingly, we cannot say that the error was harmless. See id. at 863. We, therefore, vacate and remand for resentencing.

*670Because it will be relevant on remand, we also address Munoz’s contention that the district court erred by determining that his prior conviction for assault with a deadly weapon is a crime of violence under U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(a)(2). Munoz’s argument is foreclosed. See United States v. Grajeda, 581 F.3d 1186, 1197 (9th Cir.2009) (assault with a deadly weapon, in violation of California Penal Code § 245(a)(1), “is categorically a crime of violence”). Contrary to Munoz’s contention, the holding of Grajeda was not abrogated by Ceron v. Holder, 747 F.3d 773 (9th Cir.2014) (en banc). See United States v. Jimenez-Arzate, 781 F.3d 1062, 1064 (9th Cir.2015) (per curiam).

VACATED and REMANDED for re-sentencing.
