On August 24, 2004, this court issued an opinion affirming Defendant Richard Bowden’s

the judgment of this court, and remanded to this court for further consideration in light of United
States v. Booker, 543 U.S. ___, 125 S.Ct. 738 (2005). Bowden v. United States, ___ U.S. ___, 125
S.Ct. 1615 (2005). We reinstate our opinion of August 24, 2004, affirming Bowden’s conviction,
with the exception of footnote 5 and the sentence in the text to which it is appended. With respect
to Bowden’s sentence, we reverse the judgment of the district court, vacate the sentence, and remand
to the district court for resentencing in accordance with Booker.
