NOT PRECEDENTIAL

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT

____________

No. 13-4188

____________

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

v.

AYALA A. KING

Appellant.

_______________

On Appeal from the 

District Court of the Virgin Islands

(D.C. Criminal No. 3-13-cr-00010-002)

District Judge: Honorable Curtis V. Gomez

______________

Argued: May 18, 2015

Before: McKEE, Chief Judge, SMITH and SCIRICA, Circuit Judges

ORDER AMENDING OPINION

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Not Precedential Opinion filed in this case 

on February 19, 2016, be amended as follows:

In Part I, the standard of review for sufficiency of the evidence contains an error. 

Our review of sufficiency of the evidence is “highly deferential.” United States v. McGee, 

763 F.3d 304, 316 (3d Cir. 2014) (quoting United States v. Caraballo-Rodriguez, 726 

F.3d 418, 430 (3d Cir. 2013) (en banc)).

In footnote 14, “See” should be corrected to “See generally.”

Case: 13-4188 Document: 003112238416 Page: 1 Date Filed: 03/21/2016
In footnote 16, the parenthetical following United States v. Irizarry, 341 F.3d 273, 

305 (3d Cir. 2003), should read “finding it ‘difficult to determine if the court abused its 

discretion’ in part, because the appellant failed to provide authority in support of his 

argument.”

In Part I, “Because ‘the imposition of time limits increases the efficiency of the 

trial,’ a district court may set time limits on closing arguments,” should be corrected to 

“Because ‘the imposition of time limits [can] increase[] the efficiency of the trial,’ a 

district court may set time limits on closing arguments.”

These errors are hereby corrected.
