PER CURIAM:

Darrian Jarrell Abbott appeals from his 180-month sentence 

imposed pursuant to his guilty plea to one count of possession 

of ammunition by a felon. He was sentenced as an armed career 

criminal under 18 U.S.C. § 924(e) (2012), based in part on a 

North Carolina conviction for Larceny from the Person. On 

appeal, both parties agree that Larceny from the Person is no 

longer a qualifying offense under § 924(e)(2)(B)(ii) after the 

Supreme Court’s decision in Johnson v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 

2551 (2015). Accordingly, we vacate Abbott’s sentence and 

remand for resentencing. We dispense with oral argument because 

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the 

materials before the court and argument would not aid the 

decisional process.

VACATED AND REMANDED
