Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This appeal was argued on September 14, 2001, in conjunction with several other appeals raising the same principal question: does an undifferentiated conviction under Maine’s general-purpose assault statute, Me.Rev.Stat. Ann. tit. 17-A, § 207, constitute a conviction for a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence within the purview of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9)? We answered that question affirmatively in United States v. Nason, 269 F.3d 10 (1st Cir.2001). Nason is fully dispositive here. Accordingly, the government’s appeal is sustained, the district court’s dismissal of the indictment is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with the rule announced in Nason.

Reversed and remanded.
