PER CURIAM:

       Darrian Jarrell Abbott appeals from his 180-month sentence

imposed pursuant to his guilty plea to one count of possession

of ammunition by a felon.       He was sentenced as an armed career

criminal under 18 U.S.C. § 924(e) (2012), based in part on a

North   Carolina   conviction   for       Larceny   from   the   Person.     On

appeal, both parties agree that Larceny from the Person is no

longer a qualifying offense under § 924(e)(2)(B)(ii) after the

Supreme Court’s decision in Johnson v. United States, 135 S. Ct.
2551    (2015).    Accordingly,     we     vacate   Abbott’s     sentence    and

remand for resentencing.      We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials    before   the   court   and     argument   would     not   aid   the

decisional process.

                                                       VACATED AND REMANDED

                                      2
