Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Cortez Leon Fisher pled guilty to possession of a firearm after conviction of a felony, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) (2000). Fisher was sentenced to forty-six months' imprisonment to be followed by three years of supervised release. The district court also specified an alternative sentence of thirty-six months' imprisonment pursuant to this court's recommendation in United States v. Hammoud, 378 F.3d 426 (4th Cir.2004) (order), opinion issued by 381 F.3d 316, 353-54 (4th Cir. 2004) (en banc), cert, granted and judgment vacated, — U.S. -, 125 S.Ct. 1051, 160 L.Ed.2d 997 (2005).
Fisher now moves for an expedited remand of this case to the district court in light of United States v. Booker, — U.S. -, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). We grant Fisher's motion for remand to allow the district court to recon sider Fisher's sentence in light of Booker. Fisher states that the sentencing issue is the only one he would pursue on appeal. Therefore, we affirm his conviction, vacate the sentence imposed by the district court, and remand for reconsideration of the sentence. 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.
AFFIRMED IN PARTi VACATED IN PART, AND REMANDED
Fisher does not attack the voluntariness of his guilty plea.
