UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jamie Ernest MORENO, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 99-30347.
    D.C. No. CR-93-00127-HRH.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Argued and Submitted Sept. 12, 2001.
    Decided Nov. 7, 2001.
    Before REINHARDT, HAWKINS and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.
   MEMORANDUM

Jamie Ernest Moreno (“Moreno”) pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and § 846, pursuant to a plea agreement.

Moreno and the government agree that the district court judge failed to set forth the nature of the conspiracy charge during the plea colloquy. Accordingly, Moreno’s plea cannot stand. See United States v. Bruce, 976 F.2d 552, 560 (9th Cir.1992).

Moreno’s guilty plea and sentence are therefore vacated, and the case remanded to the district court for further proceedings.

VACATED AND REMANDED.
