                            No. 03-4551

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                              Plaintiff - Appellee,

Submitted:   February 16, 2005             Decided:   March 31, 2005

Before WILLIAMS, MICHAEL, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Vacated and remanded by unpublished per curiam opinion.

James H. Moss, MOSS, KUHN & FLEMING, P.A., Beaufort, South

Charleston, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          Kemp Shider petitions this court for rehearing of his

earlier appeal.   In light of United States v. Booker, 125 S. Ct.

738 (2005), and United States v. Hughes, 2005 U.S. App. LEXIS 4331

(4th Cir. Mar. 16, 2005), we grant the petition for rehearing

solely as to the sentence and find that the district court plainly

erred in imposing a sentence that exceeded the maximum allowed

based on facts established by Shider’s guilty plea.   We therefore

vacate the sentence and remand for proceedings consistent with

Hughes. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                             VACATED AND REMANDED

                              - 2 -
