Appeals from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi USDC No. 2:09-CR-156-1 USDC No. 1:10-CR-7-1

ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES No. 10-61008 c/w No. 10-61009

Before JOLLY, JONES and SMITH, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* After our opinion was issued in this case, the Supreme Court decided Dorsey v. United States,

132 S. Ct. 2321

(2012). Dorsey held, contrary to our opinion, that the more lenient penalties of the Fair Sentencing Act (“Act”) apply to offenders who committed an offense before the Act was passed, but were sentenced after the Act was enacted. We VACATE and REMAND this case for resentencing consistent with the Court’s holding in Dorsey. VACATED and REMANDED for Resentencing.

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
