Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 3:15-CV-3912

Before Smith, Higginson, and Engelhardt, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam:*

This panel’s prior decision, found at 967 F.3d 480 (5th Cir. 2020), returns to us on remand from the Supreme Court. See Vickers v. United States, 141 S. Ct. 2783 (2021). In turn, we REMAND this case to the district court for further consideration in light of Borden v. United States, 141 S. Ct. 1817 (2021). On remand, the district court should first determine whether Case: 18-10940 Document: 00516237956 Page: 2 Date Filed: 03/14/2022

No. 18-10940 there is jurisdiction to consider Vickers’s successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 petition in light of our decisions in United States v. Wiese, 896 F.3d 720 (5th Cir. 2018), and United States v. Clay, 921 F.3d 550 (5th Cir. 2019).
