Plaintiff - Appellee,
v. No. 19-3261

JASON P. BRISCOE, (D. Kan.)
Defendant - Appellant.

ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
_________________________________
Before MATHESON, BACHARACH, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.
_________________________________
This matter is before us on the parties Joint Motion to Remand to Vacate
Multiplicitous Counts and for Resentencing, in which appellant Jason Briscoe and the
United States jointly move the court pursuant to 10th Cir. R. 27.3(A)(1)(c) to remand the
case to the district court for further proceedings. As grounds for the motion, the parties
state: (1) the convictions Mr. Briscoe challenges on appeal are multiplicitous and the
district court should have entered judgment and imposed sentence on only one 18 U.S.C.
§ 924(c) count (not two) and on only one 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) count (not six); and (2) Mr.
Briscoe was erroneously assigned two criminal history points for the conviction
*
This matter is submitted on the briefs. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R.
34.1(G). This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of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.
described in paragraph 60 of his Presentence Investigation Report, which assignment
placed him in a higher criminal history category than was appropriate.
Upon consideration, the court grants the motion, dismisses the appeal, and remand
the case to district court with instructions to:
A. Vacate Mr. Briscoe’s multiplicitous convictions and enter judgment on only
one § 924(c) count and one § 922(g) count, see United States v. Elliott,
937
F.3d 1310, 1313-14 (10th Cir. 2019) (remanding to the district court with
instructions to vacate multiplicitous convictions where “it is immaterial
which . . . conviction remained”); and
B. In light of the parties’ joint motion for remand, conduct any and all
proceedings necessary to resentence Mr. Briscoe on the three remaining
convictions under criminal history category IV.
The Clerk is directed to issue the mandate forthwith.
