United States v. Akana

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit December 12, 2005

United States v. Akana, 158 F. App'x 48 (9th Cir. 2005)

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Keith K. Akana appeals his 46-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for possession óf child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(4). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

*49Because appellant 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 court for further proceedings consistent with 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, 916 (9th Cir. 2005).

All pending motions are denied as moot.

REMANDED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
