Description
Order AMENDING OPINION AND DENYING PETITION FOR REHEARING REINHARDT, Circuit Judge: This appeal presents various factual and legal questions regarding the sentence and conviction of the defendant, Fernando Vizcarra-Martinez. Although we decline the defendant's invitation to reverse his conviction based upon the insufficiency of the evidence and find no merit in his claim that the evidence seized during the search of his car was improperly admitted, we conclude that the district court committed reversible error by admitting evidence of his drug use to prove that he conspired to possess and possessed hydriodic acid with knowledge that it would be used to manufacture methamphetamine. Because we reverse on this ground, we do not consider Vizcarra-Martinez's remaining contentions regarding the district court's evidentiary rulings and its sentencing decision.1
