No. 17-20084 In United States v. Ramirez-Hidalgo, 707 F. App’x 850 (5th Cir. 2018), our court affirmed appellant’s sentence of 21 months’ imprisonment. As relevant here, we held, pursuant to United States v. Gonzalez-Longoria, 831 F.3d 670 (5th Cir. 2016) (en banc), that 18 U.S.C. § 16(b), under which the district court concluded Ramirez had been convicted of a “crime of violence”, was not unconstitutionally vague. On 17 April 2018, however, the Supreme Court, in Sessions v. Dimaya, 138 S. Ct. 1204, 1210 (2018), held § 16(b) is unconstitutionally vague.

As a result, the Court, for the case at hand, granted certiorari, vacated, and remanded to our court “for further consideration in light of Sessions v. Dimaya”, with the judgment’s being entered on 27 July 2018. Ramirez-Hidalgo v. United States, No. 17-7793 (U.S. 25 June 2018).

Accordingly, this case is REMANDED to district court for further proceedings consistent with Dimaya.
