FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,  Nos. 99-10478 Plaintiff-Appellee, 01-10720 v. D.C. No. NORMAN ANTHONY KING, aka Norm  CR-95-00197-VRW Northern District King; aka Norman August Klause, Defendant-Appellant. of California, San Francisco  ORDER Filed August 16, 2005 Before: Susan P. Graber, Raymond C. Fisher and Marsha S. Berzon, Circuit Judges.

ORDER In this case, we affirmed the judgment of conviction on December 23, 2002. The mandate issued on March 11, 2003.

The Supreme Court denied certiorari on June 2, 2003. On August 9, 2004, defendant-appellant King filed a pro se motion “requesting amendment to [the] mandate and remand for resentencing” in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Booker, 125 S.Ct. 738 (2005). We construe this motion as a motion to recall the mandate, and deny it.

We will recall a mandate only “in extraordinary circum- stances.” Calderon v. Thompson, 523 U.S. 538, 550 (1998) (power to recall mandate is “one of last resort, to be held in reserve against grave, unforeseen contingencies”). See also Nevius v. Sumner, 105 F.3d 453, 460-61 (9th Cir. 1996). The circumstances here do not qualify as such. Although the 10683 10684 UNITED STATES v. KING Supreme Court has invalidated the mandatory Sentencing Guidelines under which King was sentenced, the remedy put in place allows sentencing judges to continue to apply the Guidelines, albeit under a new discretionary regime in which other factors are relevant. Booker, 125 S.Ct. at 764-68; 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). At best, defendant would be entitled to a limited remand at which his sentencing judge could determine whether or not to resentence. See United States v. Ameline, 409 F.3d 1073, 1084-85 (9th Cir. 2005).

We therefore conclude that the “extraordinary circum- stances” necessary to justify recalling a mandate are not pres- ent here.

The motion filed August 9, 2004, is denied.
