ORDER

1

Jury selection in this case was conducted by a magistrate, rather than a district judge. Accordingly, the conviction is REVERSED. Gomez v. United States, 490 U.S. 858, 109 S.Ct. 2237, 104 L.Ed.2d 923 (1989); United States v. France, 886 F.2d 223 (9th Cir.1989), affirmed without opinion by an equally divided Court, --- U.S. ----, 111 S.Ct. 805, 112 L.Ed.2d 836 (1991) (per curiam). Our previous opinion in this case, United States v. Martinez, 883 F.2d 750 (9th Cir.1989), is vacated.
