                          ORDER

    In light of the intervening en banc decision in United
States v. Bastide-Hernandez, 39 F.4th 1187 (9th Cir. 2022)
(en banc), cert. denied, No. 22-6281, 2023 WL 350056 (U.S.
Jan. 23, 2023), we vacate our opinion in United States v.
Gonzalez-Valencia, 3 F.4th 1208 (9th Cir. 2021), reverse the
district court’s dismissal of the indictment, and remand for
proceedings consistent with Bastide-Hernandez.
    With this order, the panel unanimously votes to deny the
petition for panel rehearing. Judge M. Smith and Judge
Bennett vote to deny the petition for rehearing en banc, and
Judge Boggs so recommends. The full court has been
advised of the petition for rehearing en banc, and no judge
requested a vote on whether to rehear the matter en banc.
Fed. R. App. P. 35. The petition for panel rehearing and
rehearing en banc, filed August 3, 2021, is DENIED. No
further petitions for panel rehearing or rehearing en banc will
be entertained.
   REVERSED and REMANDED.
