IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 13-11339

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

Plaintiff - Appellee

v.

SOL SEBASTIAN PEOPLES, 

Defendant - Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court 

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 3:13-CR-3-1

ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The defendant has been sentenced to the mandatory minimum sentence 

pursuant to the Armed Career Criminal Act because of three prior convictions 

for violent felonies. Because the Supreme Court has held that the residual 

clause of the statute is unconstitutional in Johnson v. United States #13-7120, 

576 U.S. _____ (2015), defendant’s sentence must be vacated and a new 

sentence imposed.

SENTENCE VACATED; CASE REMANDED.

 

* 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.
