v.
Arnold Robert CHASTEEN, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 95-10538.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted June 11, 1996.*
Decided June 14, 1996.

Before: CANBY, JOHN T. NOONAN, JR., and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM**

Arnold Robert Chasteen contends that his conviction for using a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1) must be reversed in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Bailey v. United States, 116 S.Ct. 501 (1995). The government concedes that the evidence was insufficient to sustain his conviction. Accordingly, we reverse Chasteen's conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1) and remand for resentencing.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir.R. 36-3
