v.

LUIS ALBERTO RUIZ-DOMINGUEZ,

                Defendant - Appellant

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Southern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 1:16-CR-644-1

ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, JONES, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
           This case comes to us on remand from the Supreme Court of the United
States for reconsideration in light of its recent decision in Rosales-Mireles v.
United States, 138 S. Ct. 1897 (2018). We need not repeat the facts of this case,
which are laid out in our previous opinion.               See United States v. Ruiz-

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.
    Case: 17-40099       Document: 00514658022   Page: 2   Date Filed: 09/26/2018

                                  No. 17-40099
Dominguez, 713 F. App’x 273 (5th Cir. 2017). The question before us is whether
this court should exercise its discretion to correct the district court’s error in
computing Ruiz-Dominguez’s Guidelines range. Rosales-Mireles dictates that
we should exercise our discretion in this case to remand for resentencing. See
138 S. Ct. at 1908-11.
      Accordingly, we VACATE Ruiz-Dominguez’s sentence and REMAND
for reconsideration in light of the corrected guidelines range. The mandate
shall issue forthwith.
