ORDER
The mandate, issued on May 8, 2006, is recalled. In light of the Supreme Court's mandate, issued on July 30, 2007, in Schriro v. Landrigan, ___ U.S. ___, 127 S.Ct. 1933, 167 L.Ed.2d 836 (2007), we vacate our en banc decision, Landrigan v. Schriro, 441 F.3d 638 (9th Cir. 2006), and affirm the district court's denial of an evidentiary hearing on Landrigan's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. We again adopt the three-judge panel's holdings with respect to the additional sentencing issues raised on appeal, Landrigan v. Stewart, 272 F.3d 1221, 1229-31 (9th Cir. 2001). Therefore, the district court's denial of Landrigan's petition for writ of habeas corpus is AFFIRMED.
