ORDER

Roberto Lua-Chavez appeals his conviction and sentence for violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b) (1). He argues that the district court erred in denying his motion for additional discovery to support his claim of selective prosecution. For the reasons set forth in United States v. Rendon-Abundez, F.3d, No. 94-50352 (9th Cir. July 13, 1995), we remand to the district court for reconsideration of the motion in light of our opinion in United States v. Armstrong, 48 F.3d 1508 (9th Cir. 1995) (en banc), and in accord with the instructions in Rendon-Abundez.

REMANDED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4
