PER CURIAM:
Darrian Jarrell Abbott appeals from his 180-month sentence
imposed pursuant to his guilty plea to one count of possession
of ammunition by a felon. He was sentenced as an armed career
criminal under 18 U.S.C. § 924(e) (2012), based in part on a
North Carolina conviction for Larceny from the Person. On
appeal, both parties agree that Larceny from the Person is no
longer a qualifying offense under § 924(e)(2)(B)(ii) after the
Supreme Court’s decision in Johnson v. United States, 135 S. Ct.
2551 (2015). Accordingly, we vacate Abbott’s sentence and
remand for resentencing. We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
VACATED AND REMANDED
