PER CURIAM:

Charles Vernon Haynes and the Government have filed a joint motion to affirm Haynes’ conviction, vacate his sentence, and remand for resentencing. The district court erred in sentencing Haynes, over his objection, to a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment based upon the quantity of methamphetamine attributable to the conspiracy rather than the amount of methamphetamine that was stipulated by him and that was attributed to him in the presentence report, which the district court adopted. See United States v. Haines, 803 F.3d 713, 740-42 (5th Cir.2015). Accordingly, we GRANT the motion, AFFIRM Haynes’ conviction, VACATE his sentence, and REMAND for resentencing. The alternative motion for an extension of time for the Government to file a responsive brief is DENIED as moot.

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
