Paz: Booker error not Harmless

In U.S. v. Paz, 2005 WL 757876 (Apr. 5, 2005), the Court (Tjoflat, Anderson, Pryor), in its first post-Booker application of harmless error review of a sentence, vacated a sentence and remanded for resentencing because the district court at sentencing stated that, were the Guidelines not mandatory, it would impose a lesser sentence.
