UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. James C. COLEMAN, Defendant-Appellant, 497 F. App'x 440

ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES PER CURIAM: This Court previously affirmed the sentence of Appellant because United States v. Tickles, 661 F.3d 212 (5th Cir.2011) (per curiam), held that the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 (“FSA”) does not apply retroactively to a defendant who is sentenced after the effective date of the FSA if the offense preceded that effective date. See 661 F.3d at 214-15. However, in United States v. Berry, No. 11-51050, 701 F.3d 808, 2012 WL 5906899 (5th Cir. Nov. 26, 2012) (per curiam), this Court determined that Tickles had been overruled by Dorsey v.

United States,—U.S.-, 132 S.Ct. 2321, 183 L.Ed.2d 250 (2012). In Dorsey, the Supreme Court announced that the more lenient penalties of the FSA apply to offenders who were sentenced after the effective date of the FSA if the underlying offense was committed before the effective date of the FSA. 132 S.Ct. at 2326. The Supreme Court granted certiorari, vacated, and remanded this case for further consideration in light of Dorsey. We, therefore, VACATE the judgment of sentence and REMAND for resentencing in accordance with Dorsey. 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R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
