NOT PRECEDENTIAL UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT ____________ No. 13-4188 ____________ UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. AYALA A. KING Appellant. _______________ On Appeal from the District Court of the Virgin Islands (D.C. Criminal No. 3-13-cr-00010-002) District Judge: Honorable Curtis V. Gomez ______________ Argued: May 18, 2015 Before: McKEE, Chief Judge, SMITH and SCIRICA, Circuit Judges ORDER AMENDING OPINION IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Not Precedential Opinion filed in this case on February 19, 2016, be amended as follows: In Part I, the standard of review for sufficiency of the evidence contains an error. Our review of sufficiency of the evidence is “highly deferential.” United States v. McGee, 763 F.3d 304, 316 (3d Cir. 2014) (quoting United States v. Caraballo-Rodriguez, 726 F.3d 418, 430 (3d Cir. 2013) (en banc)). In footnote 14, “See” should be corrected to “See generally.” In footnote 16, the parenthetical following United States v. Irizarry, 341 F.3d 273, 305 (3d Cir. 2003), should read “finding it ‘difficult to determine if the court abused its discretion’ in part, because the appellant failed to provide authority in support of his argument.” In Part I, “Because ‘the imposition of time limits increases the efficiency of the trial,’ a district court may set time limits on closing arguments,” should be corrected to “Because ‘the imposition of time limits [can] increase[] the efficiency of the trial,’ a district court may set time limits on closing arguments.” These errors are hereby corrected. BY THE COURT: /s/ Theodore A. McKee CHIEF CIRCUIT JUDGE Dated: March 21, 2016 CJG/cc: Clive Rivers, Esq. Judith L. Bourne, Esq. Nelson L. Jones, Esq.
