Before MURPHY, BYE, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Michael Verner pleaded guilty to two counts of being a felon in possession of
a firearm. The district court sentenced him as an armed career criminal under 18
U.S.C. § 924(e) and U.S.S.G. § 4B1.4 based on his three previous Missouri felony
convictions for driving while intoxicated (DWI). Verner argues on appeal that his
prior convictions for DWI do not constitute violent felonies qualifying him as an
armed career criminal, and that the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA) is
unconstitutionally vague because the residual clause does not sufficiently define the
criminal offenses that trigger the statutory minimum.
        While this appeal was pending, the Supreme Court overruled United States v.
McCall, 439 F.3d 967, 969 (8th Cir. 2006) (en banc) (felony DWI conviction is
violent felony under ACCA), and held that driving under the influence of alcohol is
not a violent felony for purposes of the ACCA. See Begay v. United States, 128 S.
Ct. 1581, 1583 (2008). Accordingly, we vacate Verner’s sentence and remand to the
district court for resentencing consistent with Begay. See United States v. Livingston,
442 F.3d 1082, 1083 (8th Cir. 2006) (review standard). In these circumstances, we
find it unnecessary to address Verner’s vagueness argument.
