Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Desmond Aaron Greene appeals his 21-month sentence after pleading guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States by uttering and dealing in counterfeit obligations or securities, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371 (2000) (Count One), and obstruction of justice, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(1) (2000) (Count Five). Greene contends the Government breached the terms of his plea agreement by presenting testimony and argument in support of an eight-level offense level enhancement on Count Five for threatening to cause physical injury in order to obstruct justice, pursuant to U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual ("USSG") § 2J1.2 (b)(1)(A) (2006). Greene claims the Government agreed to recommend, pursuant to Fed.R.Crim.P. 11(c)(1)(B), an offense level of 14 and that it reasserted this stipulation during the plea hearing.
The Government agrees with Greene that its presentation of evidence in support of the enhancement after erroneously representing that the "adjusted offense level" was also 14 constituted a breach of the agreement. In light of the Government's concession, without reaching the merits of Greene's argument, we vacate Greene's sentence and remand the case for resentencing. Consistent with our past practice in such circumstances, we remand the case to a different district court judge for re-sentencing. Finally, Greene's motion to expedite decision in this case is denied as moot. 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.
. Additionally, Greene contends the district court erred in imposing the enhancement because USSG § 2J1.2 (b)(1)(A) requires a threat to cause injury, not merely an attempt to cause injury. However, in light of the Government's concessions, it is not necessary for the court to address this claim.
