Text: 23 Garcia also asks this panel to reverse his conviction under 26 U.S.C. § 5861 in light of the Supreme Court's opinion in Staples v. United States, 511 U.S. ----, 114 S.Ct. 1793, 128 L.Ed.2d 608 (1994). However, the conviction under 26 U.S.C. § 5861 was dispositively dealt with by a prior panel of this court. At that time, Garcia did not argue that the Government needed to show his knowledge of the weapon's illegal characteristics in order to obtain a conviction. The prior panel's opinion remanded only one issue to the district court for adjudication--the conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1). While we will review the district court's determination regarding the remanded matter, we will not exercise our discretion to reopen a conviction that was not remanded for further proceedings.CONCLUSION 24 We REVERSE Garcia's conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1) and REMAND to the district court for resentencing. We AFFIRM the judgment of the district court in all other respects. 25 AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART, AND REMANDED.
