Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida

(November 2, 2005)
Before TJOFLAT, CARNES and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Joseph Casey appeals his 120-month sentence imposed after he was
convicted following his plea of guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, in
violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The only issue he raises concerns the effect of
United States v. Booker, 543 U.S.___, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), on
his sentence. As the government correctly concedes, there was non-constitutional
Booker error in this case, it was preserved, and the government cannot show it was
harmless. Accordingly, Casey is entitled to be resentenced.
The sentence is VACATED, and the case is REMANDED with instructions
that Casey is to be resentenced in accord with the Booker decision.
