   MEMORANDUM

Christopher Paul Hawk appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea conviction for second degree murder, because the sentencing judge upwardly departed from criminal history category IV to category V pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 4A1.3. We remand for resentencing to include specific findings supporting the upward departure; United States v. Carrillo-Alvarez, 3 F.3d 316, 324 (9th Cir.1993). See also United States v. Singleton, 917 F.2d 411 (9th Cir.1990).

The decision of the district court is

REMANDED for resentencing.

KLEINFELD, Circuit Judge,

dissenting.

I respectfully dissent.

In my view, the findings at pages 43-46 of the sentencing transcript suffice.
