v.

CHARLES VERNON HAYNES,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Eastern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:13-CR-269

Before DAVIS, JONES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Charles Vernon Haynes and the Government have filed a joint motion to
affirm Haynes’ conviction, vacate his sentence, and remand for resentencing.
The district court erred in sentencing Haynes, over his objection, to a
mandatory minimum term of imprisonment based upon the quantity of
methamphetamine attributable to the conspiracy rather than the amount of
methamphetamine that was stipulated by him and that was attributed to him

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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: 15-41254   Document: 00513486238     Page: 2   Date Filed: 04/29/2016

                                No. 15-41254

in the presentence report, which the district court adopted. See United States
v. Haines, 803 F.3d 713, 740-42 (5th Cir. 2015). Accordingly, we GRANT the
motion, AFFIRM Haynes’ conviction, VACATE his sentence, and REMAND for
resentencing.   The alternative motion for an extension of time for the
Government to file a responsive brief is DENIED as moot.
