IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-41254

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

CHARLES VERNON HAYNES,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of Texas

USDC No. 4:13-CR-269

Before DAVIS, JONES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges. 

PER CURIAM:*

Charles Vernon Haynes and the Government have filed a joint motion to 

affirm Haynes’ conviction, vacate his sentence, and remand for resentencing. 

The district court erred in sentencing Haynes, over his objection, to a 

mandatory minimum term of imprisonment based upon the quantity of 

methamphetamine attributable to the conspiracy rather than the amount of 

methamphetamine that was stipulated by him and that was attributed to him 

 

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not 

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH 

CIR. R. 47.5.4.

in the presentence report, which the district court adopted. See United States
