                         OPINION

HALL, Senior Circuit Judge:

   We considered this case in July of 2004 and we affirmed
the convictions and the sentence. United States v. Lewis, No.
03-30281, 111 Fed.Appx. 876 (9th Cir. Sept. 24, 2004). The
Supreme Court granted certiorari, and vacated the decision
and remanded the case to us in light of United States v.
Booker, 125 S. Ct. 738 (2005). Lewis v. United States, 125
S. Ct. 1404 (2005). Because Petitioner did not challenge his
sentence on Sixth Amendment grounds in the district court,
we grant a limited remand pursuant to United States v. Ame-
line, 409 F.3d 1073 (9th Cir. 2005) (en banc). See United
States v. Moreno-Hernandez, No. 03-30387, 2005 WL
1964483, at *8 (9th Cir. August 17, 2005) (holding that “de-
fendants are entitled to limited remands in all pending direct
criminal appeals involving unpreserved Booker error, whether
constitutional or nonconstitutional.”).

  REMANDED.
