   MEMORANDUM

Nathaniel Jay Reed appeals from his 151-month sentence of imprisonment and lifetime term of supervised release for aggravated sexual abuse, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1153(a); 18 U.S.C. § 2241(a)(1). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we vacate and remand for resentencing.

The record indicates that the district court’s imposition of a lifetime term of supervised release was animated in part by a misreading of the sentencing Guidelines in the Presentence Investigation Report. See U.S.S.G. § 501.2(b) (policy statement). The Government concedes this procedural error. Though neither party alerted the district court to this misreading, it affected Reed’s substantial rights. See United States v. Waknine, 543 F.3d 546, 554-555 (9th Cir.2008). Accordingly, we remand for resentencing.

VACATED and REMANDED.
