Case: 17-30310 Document: 00514546481 Page: 1 Date Filed: 07/09/2018 IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT United States Court of Appeals No. 17-30310 Fifth Circuit FILED Summary Calendar July 9, 2018 Lyle W. Cayce Clerk UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee v. LEROY SMITH, Defendants-Appellant Appeals from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana USDC No. 2:15-CR-185-1 Before HIGGINBOTHAM, JONES, and SMITH, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: * Larry Smith appealed his guilty plea to a drug conspiracy, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel that led to an unknowing and involuntary plea. The government, with admirable candor, admits that it mis-charged one object of the conspiracy and therefore, the district court’s plea colloquy was inaccurate. Consequently, the government believes the errors may have affected the knowing and voluntary nature of the plea. Both parties agree to vacate the sentences and remand to the district court for further proceedings. * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.  Case: 17-30310 Document: 00514546481 Page: 2 Date Filed: 07/09/2018 No. 17-30310 Smith also requests an order to vacate his guilty plea. Based on the record before us, we reject a premature ruling on the validity of the guilty plea. The sentences imposed by the district court are VACATED, and the case is REMANDED for further proceedings including an examination of the voluntariness and knowingness of the plea. 2
