PER CURIAM:

In this appeal, the parties have filed a joint motion to

remand to correct an erroneous sentence. Stephen Green pled guilty

to a single count of conspiracy to distribute heroin, in violation

of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841, 846 (2000), and was sentenced to fifty months’

imprisonment followed by four years’ supervised release. In

January 2005, the district court found Green in violation of the

conditions of his supervised release and sentenced him to four

years’ imprisonment. Green’s crime of conviction is a Class C

felony. See 18 U.S.C. § 3559(a)(3) (2000). A district court may

sentence a defendant to no more than two years’ imprisonment on the

basis of a revocation proceeding where the underlying conviction is

a Class C felony. 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) (2000). The district

court’s imposition of a four year sentence thus exceeds the

statutory maximum allowable. Accordingly, we vacate the district

court’s order and grant the motion to remand for resentencing. We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions

are adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

VACATED AND REMANDED
