Opinion:
ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
PER CURIAM:
Demus Peterson stands convicted of possession with intent to distribute cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). He appealed his sentence of 87 months incarceration and we affirmed. United States v. Peterson, 237 Fed.Appx. 439 (11th Cir.2007). One of the arguments he presented challenged the Guideline disparity between powder cocaine and cocaine base. We rejected this argument.
The Supreme Court of the United States granted Peterson's petition for writ of cer-tiorari, vacated our judgment and remanded the matter for further consideration in light of its opinion in the matter of Kim-brough v. United States, — U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 558, 169 L.Ed.2d 481 (2007). Consequently, we vacate the sentence imposed by the district court and remand the case for resentencing directing the district court to consider the recent opinion of the Supreme Court in Kimbrough.
Sentence VACATED and matter REMANDED for resentencing.
