rit granted in part. Defendant’s conviction was not final when Ramos v.
Louisiana, 590 U.S. —, 140 S.Ct. 1390, 206 L.Ed.2d 583 (2020), 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). The matter is remanded to the
district court to reconsider its denial of defendant’s motion for new trial in light of
Ramos v. Louisiana. The application is otherwise denied.
