UNITED STATES v. WARD (2018)

ORDER AND JUDGMENT *

This matter is before us on the United States’ Motion for Summary Affirmance. The United States moves for summary affirmance of the district court's judgment in light of this court's decision in United States v. Greer, 881 F.3d 1241 (10th Cir. 2018). In response, Appellant John D. Ward acknowledged that Greer answers the question raised in this appeal and the court could summarily affirm. However, he suggested that summary affirmance was premature prior to issuance of the mandate in Greer. On March 7, 2018, the court abated this appeal and its consideration of the United States’ motion for summary affirmance pending issuance of the mandate in Greer.

The mandate in Greer issued on April 2, 2018. Accordingly, the abatement of this appeal is lifted and the United States’ Motion for Summary Affirmance is granted. In light of this court's decision in United States v. Greer, 881 F.3d 1241 (10th Cir. 2018), the judgment of the district court is affirmed.
