NOT PRECEDENTIAL
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT
____________
No. 13-4188
____________
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
v.
AYALA A. KING
Appellant.
_______________
On Appeal from the
District Court of the Virgin Islands
(D.C. Criminal No. 3-13-cr-00010-002)
District Judge: Honorable Curtis V. Gomez
______________
Argued: May 18, 2015
Before: McKEE, Chief Judge, SMITH and SCIRICA, Circuit Judges
ORDER AMENDING OPINION
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Not Precedential Opinion filed in this case
on February 19, 2016, be amended as follows:
In Part I, the standard of review for sufficiency of the evidence contains an error.
Our review of sufficiency of the evidence is “highly deferential.” United States v. McGee,
763 F.3d 304, 316 (3d Cir. 2014) (quoting United States v. Caraballo-Rodriguez, 726
F.3d 418, 430 (3d Cir. 2013) (en banc)).
In footnote 14, “See” should be corrected to “See generally.”

-- 1 of 2 --

In footnote 16, the parenthetical following United States v. Irizarry, 341 F.3d 273,
305 (3d Cir. 2003), should read “finding it ‘difficult to determine if the court abused its
discretion’ in part, because the appellant failed to provide authority in support of his
argument.”
In Part I, “Because ‘the imposition of time limits increases the efficiency of the
trial,’ a district court may set time limits on closing arguments,” should be corrected to
“Because ‘the imposition of time limits [can] increase[] the efficiency of the trial,’ a
district court may set time limits on closing arguments.”
These errors are hereby corrected.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Theodore A. McKee
CHIEF CIRCUIT JUDGE
Dated: March 21, 2016
