PER CURIAM:

A jury convicted Sandako Meshawn Brandon of conspiracy to distribute cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 (2006), and distribution of cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C.A. § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A) (West 1999 & Supp. 2011). We affirmed the district court's 240-month sentence on the basis of United States v. Harp, 406 F.3d 242 (4th Cir. 2005). United States v. Brandon, 376 F. App'x 343 (4th Cir. 2010). The Supreme Court vacated our opinion and remanded the case for further consideration in light of Carachuri-Rosendo v. Holder, 130 S.Ct. 2577 (2010). Brandon v. United States, 131 S.Ct. 508 (2010). We vacate Brandon's sentence and remand for resentencing.

Brandon argues that the district court improperly sentenced him as a career offender because the prior controlled substance offense on which that classification was based was not punishable by more than one year of imprisonment under North Carolina law.1 See N.C. Gen. Stat. § 15A-1340.17(c)-(d) (2007).2 When Brandon raised this argument in the district court, it was foreclosed by our decision in Harp, 406 F.3d at 242. Subsequently, however, we overruled Harp with our en banc decision in United States v. Simmons, 649 F.3d 237 (4th Cir. 2011) (en banc), in which the defendant raised the same argument. In view of Simmons, we vacate Brandon's sentence and remand the case to the district court for resentencing.3

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.
