JEFFERSON RAY MORGAN, JR.,

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                            for the District of Arizona

Before: O’SCANNLAIN and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges, and SINGLETON,
District Judge.**

      This Court accepts the government’s concession that, in the interests of

justice, Morgan’s sentence should be vacated, see United States v. Jones, 696 F.3d

932, 937-38 (9th Cir. 2012) (discussing resolving a possible conflict between a

sentence orally pronounced and the sentence contained in a subsequent written

judgment), and that this case should be remanded for resentencing on an open

record, see United States v. Matthews, 278 F.3d 880, 885 (9th Cir. 2002) (en banc).

At oral argument Morgan did not object to this suggested resolution of his appeal.

      Vacated and Remanded.

      IT IS SO ORDERED.

      **     The Honorable James K. Singleton, Senior United States District
Judge for the District of Alaska, sitting by designation.
