Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

Rene Soto appeals his 51-month sentence imposed following a jury trial conviction for illegal re-entry into the United States following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

We remand to the sentencing court to proceed pursuant to United States v. Ameline, 409 F.3d 1073, 1084 (9th Cir.2005) (en banc). See United States v. Moreno-Hernandez, 419 F.3d 906, 2005 WL 1964483 at *8 (9th Cir. Aug.17, 2005) (extending the Ameline remand to cases involving non-constitutional Booker error). Further, because the district court did not have the benefit of this Court’s decision in Penuliar v. Ashcroft, 395 F.3d 1037, 1045-46 (9th Cir.2005), we instruct the district court to consider it upon remand.

REMANDED.
