THOMPSON, Senior Circuit Judge:

Appellant Edward Showalter ("Showalter") pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343. He now appeals the order denying his motion to withdraw that guilty plea and his sentence. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm the denial of Showalter's motion to withdraw his guilty plea, but we vacate his sentence and remand for resentencing.
