PER CURIAM:

     Mohamed   Seid      Ahmed   Mohamed   pled   guilty   to   one   count    of

conspiracy to commit wire fraud and to traffic in contraband

cigarettes.     On appeal, he seeks to vacate his sentence of 41

months imprisonment, asserting that the district court abused

its discretion in denying his motion to compel production of

favorable information and in granting the government’s motion to

quash a subpoena seeking testimony about favorable information.

     In accordance with a sealed opinion that has been filed and

distributed    to   the   parties   and    district    court    simultaneously

herewith, we affirm in part and vacate in part the district

court’s   denial    of     Mohamed’s   motion     to   compel,    affirm      the

district court’s decision to quash the subpoena, and remand the

case to the district court for further proceedings consistent

with that opinion.

                                                           AFFIRMED IN PART,
                                                            VACATED IN PART,
                                                                AND REMANDED

                                       3
