Submitted: November 13, 2015 Decided: December 4, 2015

Before MOTZ, THACKER, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.

Louis C. Allen, Federal Public Defender, Mireille P. Clough, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for Appellant. Ripley Rand, United States Attorney, Robert A.J. Lang, Assistant United States Attorney, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Darrian Jarrell Abbott appeals from his 180-month sentence

imposed pursuant to his guilty plea to one count of possession

of ammunition by a felon. He was sentenced as an armed career

criminal under

18 U.S.C. § 924

(e) (2012), based in part on a

North Carolina conviction for Larceny from the Person. On

appeal, both parties agree that Larceny from the Person is no

longer a qualifying offense under § 924(e)(2)(B)(ii) after the

Supreme Court’s decision in Johnson v. United States,

135 S. Ct. 2551

(2015). Accordingly, we vacate Abbott’s sentence and

remand for resentencing. We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

VACATED AND REMANDED
