Heading: Jackson's Booker-Related Arguments

Text: 9 Jackson also argues that his Sixth Amendment right to a jury's determination of facts underlying his sentence enhancement was violated when the district judge found by a preponderance of the evidence that Jackson obstructed justice by intimidating the government's confidential informant. See Booker, 125 S.Ct. at 756. We are already remanding this case based on the district court's Guidelines calculation error, and Jackson must be resentenced in accordance with Booker, at that time, obviating the need for us to consider the propriety of a limited remand under United States v. Paladino, 401 F.3d 471, 484 (7th Cir.2005). 10 Jackson further argues that the district court's finding that he was not eligible for a safety valve reduction likewise violated his Sixth Amendment rights under Booker. Again, because we are already remanding this case based on the district court's Guidelines calculation error, we need not address this argument at this time. Based on the district court's Guidelines calculations error, Jackson must be resentenced in accordance with Booker.
