                             OPINION OF THE COURT




FUENTES, Circuit Judge.

      Frank Ginesi pled guilty to a two count indictment charging him in Count One

with mail fraud, and in Count Two with filing false tax returns. The District Court
sentenced Ginesi, pursuant to the United States Sentencing Guidelines, to a 27 month

term of imprisonment after denying Ginesi’s motion for a downward departure based

upon his age and deteriorating mental condition.            Ginesi later moved for

reconsideration of his sentence, which was also denied by the District Court. On

appeal, he challenges his sentence under 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 vacate the sentence and

remand for resentencing in accordance with Booker. Ginesi raises no challenge as to

his conviction and accordingly has waived any argument in this regard. We will

affirm the judgment of conviction.
