Before MCMILLIAN, FLOYD R. GIBSON, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Bluett Reginald Cameron pleaded guilty in 1992 to cocaine distribution and
unlawful use of a firearm in relation to a drug trafficking crime, and received
consecutive sentences of 121 and 60 months' imprisonment for the respective offenses.
He now brings a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion, seeking to vacate his sentence on the
firearm conviction, in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Bailey v. United States,
116 S. Ct. 501 (1995). The district court denied his petition for relief, and Cameron
appeals. Because of the Supreme Court's decision in Bousley v. United States, 118 S.
Ct. 1604 (1998), we reverse and remand to the district court for further consideration.1
