   MEMORANDUM

John Doe appeals from his conviction and the 78-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea to drug conspiracy, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A), distribution of cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(C), and distribution of crack cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

Doe’s challenge to his conviction is based upon a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. We decline to consider this claim because the record is insufficiently developed to resolve it on direct review. See United, States v. Jeronimo, 398 F.3d 1149, 1155-56 (9th Cir.2005).

With regard to Doe’s sentence, the district court imposed the sentence under the assumption that the guidelines were mandatory. Because Doe preserved the sentencing error, we vacate the sentence so that the district court can resentence Doe in light of United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005).

The conviction is AFFIRMED, the sentence is VACATED and REMANDED
