Charleston, South Carolina, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM:
Kemp Shider petitions this court for rehearing of his
earlier appeal. In light of United States v. Booker, 125 S. Ct.
738 (2005), and United States v. Hughes, 2005 U.S. App. LEXIS 4331
(4th Cir. Mar. 16, 2005), we grant the petition for rehearing
solely as to the sentence and find that the district court plainly
erred in imposing a sentence that exceeded the maximum allowed
based on facts established by Shider’s guilty plea. We therefore
vacate the sentence and remand for proceedings consistent with
Hughes. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
VACATED AND REMANDED
