Before WOLLMAN, BRIGHT, and BYE, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       The district court violated the Sixth Amendment by applying a mandatory
version of the federal sentencing guidelines, which required it to enhance the
defendant's sentence beyond the statutory maximum based on facts not admitted to
by him nor found by a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. United States v. Booker, 125
S. Ct. 738, 756 (2005). The defendant raised and preserved the error at the time of
sentencing and we cannot say this constitutional error was harmless beyond a
reasonable doubt. See United States v. Haidley, 400 F.3d 642 (8th Cir. 2005). We
therefore vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing.
