UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT _________________________________ UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FILED United States Court of Appeals Tenth Circuit July 25, 2019 Elisabeth A. Shumaker Clerk of Court Plaintiff - Appellee, v. ALAN J. HAAG, No. 18-3255 (D.C. No. 6:18-CR-10086-JWB-1) (D. Kan.) Defendant - Appellant. _________________________________ ORDER AND JUDGMENT* _________________________________ Before BACHARACH, SEYMOUR, and McHUGH, Circuit Judges. _________________________________ On September 7, 2018, defendant Alan J. Haag was convicted of a single count of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §922(g)(1). Judgment entered on November 28, 2018, and this appeal followed. On July 23, 2019 the parties filed a Joint Motion for Summary Disposition. In the Motion, the parties request that we vacate Mr. Haag’s conviction in light of Rehaif v. United States, 139 S. Ct. 2191 (2019), and that we direct a remand so that the United States may dismiss * The oral argument hearing set originally for September 26, 2019 is vacated, and all counsel are excused from attendance. In light of this disposition, the panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist in the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument. This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited, however, for its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1. Mr. Haag’s 18 U.S.C. §922(g)(1) charge. Upon consideration, the Motion is granted as modified in this Order and Judgment. We grant the parties’ request to dispose of this appeal by summary disposition in light of the Rehaif decision. We remand, however, with instructions for the district court to vacate the conviction and to allow the United States to dismiss the underlying charge. The Clerk is directed to issue the mandate forthwith. Entered for the Court Per Curiam 2
