MEMORANDUM **

Jose Luis Ramos-Rosales appeals his guilty-plea conviction and sentence for illegal re-entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326 .

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 , 87 S.Ct. 1396 , 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), counsel for Ramos-Rosales has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Ramos-Rosales has filed a pro se supplemental opening brief.

Because the guidelines are now purely advisory, see United States v. Booker, — U.S. -, 125 S.Ct. 738, 764-67 , 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), we remand so the district court can determine if Ramos-Rosales should receive a different sentence under the advisory Guidelines system. See United States v. Hermoso-Garcia, 413 F.3d 1085, 1089-90 (9th Cir.2005).

Counsel’s motion to withdraw as counsel on appeal is denied. Appellee’s request for summary affirmance is denied as moot.

The conviction is AFFIRMED, and the sentence is REMANDED.
