Plaintiff - Appellee, 

V. 

MICHAEL ROBERT PENA, 

Defendant - Appellant.

(D. Colorado) 

ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before SEYMOUR, HARTZ, and McCONNELL, Circuit Judges. 

Defendant Michael Robert Pena pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a 

firearm by a convicted felon. See 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(l). The district court 

sentenced him to 70 months' imprisonment, the bottom of the applicable 

Sentencing Guidelines range. At the sentencing hearing Defendant raised an 

• After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined 

unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of 

this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1 (G). The case is 

therefore ordered submitted without oral argument. This order and judgment is 

not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, 

and collateral estoppel. The court generally disfavors the citation of orders and 

judgments; nevertheless, an order and judgment may be cited under the terms and 

conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3.

objection under Blakely v. Washington, 124 S. Ct. 2531 (2004). Defendant 

appeals. 

After Defendant filed his notice of appeal but before he filed his opening 

brief, the United States Supreme Court handed down United States v. Booker, 125 

S. Ct. 738 (2005). He now argues that the district court committed 

nonconstitutional Booker error because it sentenced him under the mandatory 

guidelines regime. The government concedes that United States v. LabastidaSegura, 396 F.3d 1140 (10th Cir. 2005), requires Defendant's case to be 

remanded for resentencing. 

We agree. We VACATE Defendant's sentence and REMAND to the 

district court for resentencing.
