PER CURIAM:

      This case returns to us on remand from the Supreme Court of the United States.

Luis v. United States, 578 U.S. at ___, 136 S. Ct. 1083 (2016). In our earlier opinion,

we affirmed the district court’s finding that there was no Sixth Amendment right to

use untainted, substitute assets to hire counsel. See Luis v. United States, 564 F.

App’x 493, 494 (2014) (per curiam). The Supreme Court granted a petition for writ

of certiorari and vacated our judgment, holding that a defendant “has a Sixth

Amendment right to use her own ‘innocent’ property to pay a reasonable fee for the

assistance of counsel.” Luis, 578 U.S. at ___, 136 S. Ct. at 1096 (2016) (plurality

opinion). Accordingly, based on the judgment of the Supreme Court, we now vacate

the district court’s order granting the government’s motion for a preliminary

injunction and remand this case to the district court for further proceedings consistent

with the Supreme Court’s opinion.

      VACATED AND REMANDED.
