MEMORANDUM*

2
We reverse for the reasons stated in United States v. Caldwell, No. 91-30131, also filed today.   Essentially the same incorrect jury instruction was given here as was given in Caldwell.   CR 368 instrs. 13-14.   And though Cote didn't raise the jury instruction issue on appeal, in this case it would be " 'manifestly unjust' to reverse the conviction of one co-defendant but to uphold the conviction of another co-defendant when the same error affected both defendants."   United States v. Ullah, 976 F.2d 509, 514 (9th Cir.1992).
