ALARCÓN, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
I concur in Part II and Part III of the Court’s opinion.
Because we must remand this matter to the District Court for resentencing in accordance with United States v. Booker, — U.S. —, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), the District Court will be free to conduct an evidentiary hearing to determine the appropriate sentence to impose, within its discretion, pursuant to the Sentencing Guidelines.
Since we do not now know the evidence that the Government will present, if any, to demonstrate that Appellant “used” Ka-domsky within the meaning of § 3B1.4, I believe that question is not ripe for review at this time. I would refrain from attempting to interpret the term “used” in § 3B1.4 until after the District Court makes its findings following resentencing proceedings.
