                                 Order

     The United States has confessed error in this appeal, in
light of United States v. Booker, 125 S. Ct. 738 (2005).
Moreover, the United States concedes that (a) the issue was
preserved in the district court, and (b) the error is not
harmless. Accordingly, the sentence is vacated, and the case is
remanded for resentencing consistent with the remedial procedure
laid out in Booker.
