    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff—Appellee, v. Christopher J. AWBERY, Defendant—Appellant.
    No. 04-30284.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Submitted Jan. 9, 2006.
    
    Decided Jan. 17, 2006.
    Before: HUG, O’SCANNLAIN and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

Christopher J. Awbery appeals the 270-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea conviction for conspiracy to distribute more than 500 grams of a mixture containing methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 (Count 1), and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) (Count 2).

The district court added two levels to Awbery’s base offense level based upon a quantity of drugs not established by his guilty plea nor found by a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. As Awbery preserved his Sixth Amendment challenge to the calculation of the sentencing range based on the quantity of drugs determined by the sentencing judge, he is entitled to a new sentencing hearing under United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). Therefore, we VACATE the sentence imposed by the district court, and REMAND for resentencing consistent with Booker. United States v. Kortgaard, 425 F.3d 602, 610-11 (9th Cir.2005).

VACATED and REMANDED.
