MEMORANDUM **

Miguel Serrato-Camacho appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea to illegal entry, being a deported alien found in the United States, and making false claims to United States citizenship in violation of 8 U.S.C. §§ 1325 (a)(1) & 1326 and 18 U.S.C. § 911 .

Serrato-Camacho contends that the district court erred in applying the Sentencing Guidelines as mandatory when imposing his sentence. Because SerratoCamacho 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 to answer that question, and to proceed pursuant to 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) (extending Ameline’s limited remand procedure to cases involving non-constitutional error under United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 , 125 S.Ct. 738 , 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005)).

REMANDED.
