Before LUCERO, TYMKOVICH, and HOLMES, Circuit Judges.


LUCERO, Circuit Judge.

Evan A. Saavedra pleaded guilty to one count of being an addict or unlawful user of a controlled substance in possession of a firearm and ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3). Saavedra received a sentence of 21 months' imprisonment, which he now appeals. We conclude that the district court committed procedural error in calculating Saavedra's sentencing range, and therefore reverse and remand for resentencing.
