PER CURIAM:

Mohamed Seid Ahmed Mohamed pled guilty to one count of 

conspiracy to commit wire fraud and to traffic in contraband 

cigarettes. On appeal, he seeks to vacate his sentence of 41 

months imprisonment, asserting that the district court abused 

its discretion in denying his motion to compel production of 

favorable information and in granting the government’s motion to 

quash a subpoena seeking testimony about favorable information.

In accordance with a sealed opinion that has been filed and 

distributed to the parties and district court simultaneously 

herewith, we affirm in part and vacate in part the district 

court’s denial of Mohamed’s motion to compel, affirm the 

district court’s decision to quash the subpoena, and remand the 

case to the district court for further proceedings consistent 

with that opinion.

AFFIRMED IN PART,

VACATED IN PART,

AND REMANDED
