GREGORY, Circuit Judge,
dissenting.
For reasons enunciated in my separate opinion in United States v. Talebnejad, 460 F.3d 563 (4th Cir.2006), I respectfully dissent. Here, as in Talebnejad, the indictment failed to allege a knowing and willful violation of the Maryland licensing law for activities after October 1, 2002. Because I would hold that the Government must prove a knowing and willful violation of Maryland’s licensing law for conduct occurring after October 1, 2002, I would affirm the dismissal of the indictment.
