P
ER CURIAM:
I
n Ramos v. Louisiana, 590 U.S. ––––, 140 S.Ct. 1390, 206 L.Ed.2d 583 (2020),
the United States Supreme Court held that the Sixth Amendment right to jury trial, as
incorporated against the States by way of the Fourteenth Amendment, requires a
unanimous verdict to convict a defendant of a serious offense. The present matter was
pending on direct review when Ramos v. Louisiana was decided, and therefore the
holding of Ramos applies. See Griffith v. Kentucky, 479 U.S. 314, 328, 107 S.Ct. 708,
716, 93 L.Ed.2d 649 (1987). We reverse the ruling of the court below, which affirmed
defendant's conviction and sentence. We vacate defendant's conviction and sentence.
We remand to the district court for further proceedings.
REVERSED AND REMANDED
