RIPPLE, Circuit Judge.
Orvid Garrett stands convicted of four counts of distribution of cocaine base. See 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Mr. Garrett contends on appeal that the Government failed to establish at sentencing that the cocaine base was crack cocaine. For the reasons set forth in this opinion, we reverse the judgment of the district court and remand the case for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
