## Opinion text

ORDER
Upon consideration of the joint motion to remand the record, it is
ORDERED that the motion be granted, and that the record in this appeal be remanded to the district court “for the limited purpose of allowing it to determine whether it would have imposed a different sentence, materially more favorable to the defendant, had it been fully aware of the
post-Booker
sentencing regime.”
