ORDER _________________________________

Before TYMKOVICH, BALDOCK, and HOLMES, Circuit Judges. _________________________________

This matter is before the court following receipt of the appellant’s status report,

and in light of the United States Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Alvarez,

567 U.S.___, (2012)(No. 11-210). In light of that decision, we vacate both the opinion

and the judgment issued on January 27, 2012. The July 16, 2010 order of the district

court dismissing the amended information and charges against Mr. Strandlof is affirmed.

See United States v. Strandlof, 746 F. Supp. 2d 1183 (D. Colo. 2010). On February 2, 2012, we issued an order staying issuance of the mandate. We now lift that stay, and

issue this order as the mandate of the court.

Entered for the Court
