For the First Circuit

No. 14-1259

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Appellee,

v.

ROBERT JOUBERT,

Defendant, Appellant.

ERRATA SHEET

The concurring opinion of this Court issued on February 11,

2015, is amended as follows:

On page 23, lines 12-20: Replace "Nat'l Fed'n of Indep. Bus.

v. Sebelius, 132 S. Ct. 2566, 2591 (2012) ("Although the [Commerce]

Clause gives Congress authority to legislate . . . , it does not

license the exercise of any great substantive and independent

power[s] beyond those specifically enumerated. Instead, the Clause

is merely a declaration . . . that the means of carrying into

execution those [powers] otherwise granted are included in the

grant." (second and third alterations in the original) (internal

citations and quotation marks omitted))" with "Nat'l Fed'n of

Indep. Bus. v. Sebelius, 132 S. Ct. 2566, 2589 (2012) (Roberts,

CJ.) (rejecting Congress's ability to enact the Affordable Care Act

under the Commerce Clause, and noting that "[w]hile Congress's

authority under the Commerce Clause has of course expanded with the

growth of the national economy, our cases have 'always recognized

that the power to regulate commerce, though broad indeed, has

limits'" and that the government's theory would "reach beyond the

natural extent of its authority, 'everywhere extending the sphere

of its activity and drawing all power into its impetuous vortex'"

(quoting Maryland v. Wirtz, 392 U.S. 183, 196 (1968) and The

Federalist No. 48, at 309 (James Madison) (Clinton Rossiter ed.,

1961), respectively))."
