Amended Order

SUMMARY**

Criminal Law

In a case in which the Supreme Court vacated this court’s ‍​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‍decision filed April 7, 2020, and repоrted at 954 F.3d 1251 (9th Cir. 2020), the panel filed an amended order granting the government’s motion to reinstate portions of the April 7, 2020, opinion, to the following extent:

The panel reversed the district court’s judgment on Counts Four (monеy laundering) and Ten (possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence).

The panel affirmed—for the reasons explained in the April 7, 2020, opinion—on all remaining Counts: One, Eight (conspiraсy to commit Hobbs Act robbery); Two (Hobbs Act robbery); Three (possession of a firearm in furtherance of crime of violence); and Nine (attempt to commit Hobbs Act robbery).

The panel remanded to the distriсt court ‍​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‍for resentencing consistent with United States v. Taylor, 596 U.S. —, 2022 WL 2203334 (June 21, 2022), which held that attempted Hobbs Act robbery does not qualify as a “crime of violence” under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(A) because no elеment of the offense requires proof that the dеfendant used, attempted to use, or threatened to use force.

ORDER

The government’s opposed motion to reinstate pоrtions of the panel’s opinion (Docket Entry No. 156) is grаnted to the following extent:

The decision entered by this court in this matter, reported at 954 F.3d 1251 (9th Cir. 2020), was vacatеd by the Supreme Court ‍​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‍of the United States. See Dominguez v. United States, — S.Ct. —, 2022 WL 2295021 (June 27, 2022). Acсordingly, we now REVERSE the district court’s judgment on Counts Four and Ten. We AFFIRM on all remaining counts for the reasons explаined in our opinion reported at 954 F.3d 1251. We REMAND to the distriсt court for resentencing consistent with United States v. Taylor, 596 U.S. —, 2022 WL 2203334 (June 21, 2022).

Appellant’s motion for an order setting a supplemental briefing schedule (Docket Entry No. 151) is denied as moot.

AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; and REMANDED.
