MEMORANDUM

Jason William Sadler appeals from the 152-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea conviction for possession with intent to distribute a heroin in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 841(b)(1)(B), possession with intent to distribute cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 841(b)(1)(C), carrying a firearm during a crime of drug trafficking, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c), and being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

Because Sadler was sentenced under the then-mandatory Sentencing Guidelines, and we cannot reliably determine from the record whether the sentence imposed would have been materially different had the district court known that the Guidelines were advisory, we remand to the sentencing judge to proceed pursuant to United States v. Ameline, 409 F.3d 1073, 1084-85 (9th Cir.2005) (en banc). See United States v. Moreno-Hernandez, 419 F.3d 906, 915-16 (9th Cir.2005) (extending Ameline’s limited remand procedure to cases involving non-constitutional error).

REMANDED.
