                                       OPINION




BARRY, Circuit Judge

      Appellant Otto Barbour was sentenced as a career offender under U.S.S.G. §

4B1.1 to a term of imprisonment of 235 months following his conviction on drug

distribution charges. His conviction and sentence were affirmed by us on appeal, and he
thereafter petitioned for a writ of certiorari. On January 24, 2005, the Supreme Court

entered an order granting certiorari, vacating the judgment, and remanding the case to this

Court for further consideration in light of United States v. Booker, 543 U.S.      , 

(2005).

       Having determined that the sentencing issues appellant raises are best determined

by the District Court in the first instance, we will remand to the District Court for

resentencing in accordance with Booker. Appellant raises no challenge to his conviction

and we will, again, affirm the judgment of conviction.
