UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Plaintiff - Appellee

v.

MAURICE ANDRE PERRY

Defendant - Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 3:05-CR-17-ALL

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, CLEMENT, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Maurice Andre Perry appeals the district court’s limited grant of his

motion for a sentence reduction. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Perry contends that

the district court erred by failing to afford him the opportunity to review and

comment on the addendum to the presentence report (PSR) that was prepared

in connection with his motion.

The Government does not dispute that Perry was entitled to an

opportunity to review and comment on the PSR prior to the district court’s

ruling. See United States v. Mueller, 168 F.3d 186, 189 (5th Cir. 1999). We

conclude that on this record, we cannot determine whether the district court

considered the merits of the arguments raised in Perry’s untimely motion for

reconsideration, nor can we conclude that any error was harmless. See id.;

United States v. Andrews, 390 F.3d 840, 846 & n.9 (5th Cir. 2004). Accordingly,

we vacate the judgment of the district court and remand to permit the district

court to consider the arguments asserted by Perry in his motion for

reconsideration. We express no opinion on the disposition of Perry’s motion on

remand.

VACATED AND REMANDED.
