On Petition for Rehearing
PER CURIAM:
On the original hearing of this appeal, we affirmed the conviction, but remanded for resentencing so that a term of supervised release could be replaced by a term of special parole, a change acknowledged by the parties to be required in light of then applicable case law, see, e.g., United States v. Byrd, 837 F.2d 179 (5th Cir.1988). Five days after our decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the penalty provisions of section 1002 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 (“ADAA”) became effective on the date of enactment of the ADAA, October 27, 1986. Gozlon-Peretz v. United States, — U.S. -, 111 S.Ct. 840, 112 L.Ed.2d 919 (1991). That section amends 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1) (1988) and provides for terms of supervised release. Section 1302 of the ADAA amends 21 U.S.C. § 960(b) (1988), the penalty provisions for the importation offenses of which appellant was convicted, and provides for terms of supervised release. The parties are in agreement that Jordan’s offenses, which occurred after October 27, 1986, are governed by the ADAA, and that the sentence, as originally imposed, properly included a term of supervised release.
Accordingly, the petition for rehearing is granted, and the opinion filed February 14, 1991, is modifed by deleting the last two paragraphs and substituting therefor, “The judgment of the District Court, including all provisions of the sentence, is affirmed.”
