PER CURIAM.

       The United States Supreme Court granted certiorari in this case, vacated the
judgment, and remanded the case to our court for further proceedings. We now
vacate the opinion and judgment we entered in this case and remand with directions
for the district court to reconsider Thompson’s request for § 2254 relief in light of the
United States Supreme Court decision in Montgomery v. Louisiana, 577 U.S. ---, 

(2016).
