UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Derrick VINCENT, Defendant-Appellant.
MEMORANDUM **
Derrick Vincent appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 46-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2). In supplemental briefs filed after this court decided United States v. Edling, 895 F.3d 1153 (9th Cir. 2018), the parties agree that Edling requires that Vincent be resentenced. We concur. See id. at 1158 (holding that a robbery conviction under Nevada Revised Statues § 200.380 is not a crime of violence). We vacate the district court’s judgment and remand for resentencing without the crime of violence enhancement to Vincent’s base offense level.
In light of this disposition, we do not reach Vincent’s argument that his sentence is substantively unreasonable.
VACATED and REMANDED for resentencing.
