See Hirabayashi 12 || v. United States,

828 F.2d 591, 604

(9th Cir. 1987). 13 Accordingly, the Petition for Coram Nobis is GRANTED. Petitioner is 14 || hereby permitted to withdraw his guilty plea and it is deemed 15 || withdrawn. Petitioner’s conviction (Dkt. 62) is VACATED and the Clerk of Court 16 || is directed to so reflect in the docket. 17 IT IS SO ORDERED. 18 | parep: September 29, 2021 it } \ +; □□□ 19 POdOXO- AR. aoe Hon.
