United States First Circuit

In this case, the Supreme Court granted defendant's certiorari petition, vacated this court's previous judgment, and remanded to this court for reconsideration in light of Alleyne v. US. Defendant's sentence is vacated and remanded for resentencing, where: 1) the Alleyne error involving the 210-month prison term is not harmless; and 2) defendant preserved the Alleyne error regarding the 5-year supervised release term, and so harmless-error review controls.
