MEMORANDUM **
Guillermo Villa-Gonzales appeals the 18-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea conviction for possession of a firearm by an alien illegally in the United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5), and criminal forfeiture, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(d) and 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
Because we conclude that the district court erred under United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), and because Villa-Gonzales preserved this constitutional error below, we vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing under the now-advisory Guidelines. See United States v. Kortgaard, 425 F.3d 602, 610-11 (9th Cir.2005).
SENTENCE VACATED AND REMANDED.
