Before MELLOY, HEANEY, and FAGG, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

      The defendant in this case was sentenced prior to the United States Supreme
Court decision in United States v. Booker, 
125 S. Ct. 738
(2005). The defendant
raised and preserved error as to the constitutionality of the federal sentencing
guidelines at the time of sentencing. The defendant was also sentenced to the
minimum possible sentence under the applicable federal sentencing guidelines.
Accordingly, we cannot say that the error in this case was harmless. We therefore
vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing pursuant to United States v. Booker,
125 S. Ct. 738
(2005). See, United States v. Haidley, No. 04-3312 (filed March 16,
2005).
