*1 United States Court of Appeals

For the First Circuit _____________________ No. 16-2089

UNITED STATES Appellee v.

JEFFRI DAVILA-REYES Defendant - Appellant __________________ No. 16-2143

UNITED STATES Appellee v.

JOSE REYES-VALDIVIA Defendant - Appellant __________________ Before Howard, Chief Judge, Lipez and Thompson, Circuit Judges. __________________ ORDER OF COURT Entered: March 17, 2021 The panel has concluded that the en banc decision in United States v. Aybar-Ulloa, 987 F.3d 1 (1st Cir. 2021) (en banc), has diminished the force of this circuit's precedent on the protective principle such that the panel now deems it appropriate to address appellants' contention that the government improperly deemed their vessel stateless.

The petitions for panel rehearing are therefore granted, the prior decision of the panel is vacated, and a new panel opinion will issue in due course.
