Sharita Lashawn Pankey pled guilty to one count of distribution of cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C.A. § 841(a)(1) (West 1999 & Supp. 2007). At sentencing, Pan-key argued that she was eligible for a sentence below the Sentencing Guidelines because the 100-to-l crack cocaine to powder cocaine sentencing disparity was not applicable to her situation. The district court believed it was constrained to defer to the guidelines and sentenced Pankey to the low end of the properly calculated guidelines range of imprisonment. On appeal, we affirmed her sentence, noting her challenge to the sentencing disparity was foreclosed by United States v. Eura, 440 F.3d 625 (4th Cir. 2006) (holding that 100:1 ratio could not be used as basis for variance), vacated , — - U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 853, — L.Ed.2d-(2008). See United States v. Pankey, 195 Fed.Appx. 130 (4th Cir. 2006) (unpublished). On January 7, 2008, the Supreme Court granted Pankey’s petition for writ of certiorari, vacated this court’s judgment and remanded the case for further consideration in light of Kimbrough v. United States , — U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 558, 169 L.Ed.2d 481 (2007). Pankey v. United States , — U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 856, 169 L.Ed.2d 708 (2008).

The Supreme Court decided in Kimbrough that “it would not be an abuse of discretion for a district court to conclude when sentencing a particular defendant that the erack/powder disparity yields a sentence ‘greater than necessary’ to achieve § 3553(a)’s purposes, even in a mine-run case.” Kimbrough, 128 S.Ct. at 575. Kimbrough thus abrogated Eura. Because Kimbrough relieves the court of being constrained by the guidelines when considering the crack/powder disparity, we vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing.

Thus, we vacate Pankey’s sentence and remand to the district court for resentencing in light of Kimbrough. 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.
