MEMORANDUM*


2
Jerry Lee Imes, Jr., appeals his conviction for possession of an unregistered firearm in violation of the National Firearms Act, 26 U.S.C. § 5861(d), on the ground that, under  Staples v. United States, 114 S.Ct. 1793 (1994), he was entitled to an instruction that the government must prove his knowledge of the illegal features of the firearm he possessed.  The government agrees that Imes was entitled to such an instruction.  Under the circumstances, we reverse the conviction.  Accordingly, we do not reach Imes's second argument, that his sentence under the Sentencing Guidelines was erroneous under  Bailey v. United States, 116 S.Ct. 501 (1995).

REVERSED.
