We adopt as our own the three-judge panel’s opinion in United States v.

We vacate that portion of the opinion starting with “Notwithstanding Willard or the 1993 amendments ...” 581 F.3d at 1167, column 1, line 1, and ending with “Equally certain ... is the fact that,” 581 F.3d at 1168, column 2, line 13, as well as the second to last paragraph, which says “We conclude that to the extent Hill ... overruled by the 1993 amendments to § 3B1.3’s commentary,” 581 F.3d at 1168— 69.
We overrule United States v. Peyton, 353 F.3d 1080, 1090-91 (9th Cir.2003); United States v. Brickey, 289 F.3d 1144, 1153-55 (9th Cir.2002); United States v.
