Upon motion by the defendant, Edward James, for a rehearing, and good cause having been shown, and upon the concession by the government that at the time of the entry of the plea of guilty by James that the government could not have adduced any additional proof on the interstate commerce element under the Hobbs Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1951, as to James than it did at trial against the codefendants, Selena Turner and Kevin Larkins, our opinion of November 28, 2001, is amended to reflect that the conviction and sentence of James are REVERSED.
