PER CURIAM:

In Melson v. Allen, 548 F.3d 993 (11th Cir. 2008), we affirmed Robert B. Melson’s death sentence following his 1996 capital murder convictions. The Supreme Court vacated our judgment, Melson v. Allen, - U.S. -, 130 S.Ct. 3491, - L.Ed.2d -, 2010 WL 2471066 (2010), and remanded the case to us for further consideration in light of its decision in Holland v. *1381 Florida, 560 U.S. -, 130 S.Ct. 2549, 177 L.Ed.2d 130 (2010). We hereby remand this case to the district court so that it may conduct the necessary fact-finding in the first instance in accordance with the principles set forth in Holland.

REMANDED.
