DAVID WAYNE HATCHER, 

 Defendant - Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 4:12-CR-96-1

ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

Before JOLLY, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

We previously affirmed the district court’s restitution order imposed in 

connection with David Wayne Hatcher’s guilty-plea conviction for two counts 

of child pornography. United States v. Hatcher, 559 F. App’x 300 (5th Cir. 

2014). The Supreme Court granted certiorari, vacated our decision, and 

* 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.

Case: 13-10636 Document: 00512912630 Page: 1 Date Filed: 01/23/2015
No. 13-10636

remanded for further consideration in light of Paroline v. United States, 134 S. 

Ct. 1710 (2014). Hatcher v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 129 (2014). Paroline

overruled our circuit precedent and held that 18 U.S.C. § 2259 requires 

“restitution in an amount that comports with the defendant’s relative role in 

the causal process that underlies the victim’s general losses.” Paroline, 134 S. 

Ct. at 1727. We now VACATE the district court’s restitution order and 

REMAND the case to the district court for proceedings consistent with the 

Supreme Court’s opinion in Paroline.
