2 17-10187
Edling, 895 F.3d 1153 (9th Cir. 2018), the parties agree that Edling requires that
Vincent be resentenced. We concur. See id. at 1158 (holding that a robbery
conviction under Nevada Revised Statues § 200.380 is not a crime of violence).
We vacate the district court’s judgment and remand for resentencing without the
crime of violence enhancement to Vincent’s base offense level.
In light of this disposition, we do not reach Vincent’s argument that his
sentence is substantively unreasonable.
VACATED and REMANDED for resentencing.
