Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Donald James Ikari appeals his sentence imposed following his guilty plea to possession of child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A. He contends that pursuant to Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004), the district court violated his constitutional rights in making upward adjustments under U.S.S.G. § 2G2.4(b). Ikari was sentenced before the United States Supreme Court held in United States v. Booker, — U.S. -, 125 S.Ct. 738, 764, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), that the Sentencing Guidelines were effectively advisory. The record does not show how the district court would have proceeded if it had known that the Guidelines were not mandatory. Accordingly, we remand for the district court to answer the question whether the sentence would have been materially different if it had known that the Guidelines were advisory, and for further proceedings under United States v. Ameline, 409 F.3d 1073, 1084-85 (9th Cir.2005) (en banc).
REMANDED.
