PER CURIAM. Donald Swank challenges the sentence imposed by the district court upon his guilty plea to conspiring and attempting to manufacture 5 or more grams of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(B), and 846. For reversal, he argues under United States v. Booker, — U.S. -, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), that the district court erred in sentencing him under a sentencing scheme that is no longer valid. The district court erred in sentencing Mr. Swank under a mandatory Guidelines regime, see Booker, 125 S.Ct. at 756-57, and Mr.
Swank sufficiently preserved the issue at sentencing by challenging his sentencing range under Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004), see United States v. Pirani, 406 F.3d 543, 549 (8th Cir.2005) (en banc), petition for cert. filed, (U.S. July 27, 2005) (No. 05-5547). We thus review for harmless error. See United States v. Haidley, 400 F.3d 642, 644-45 (8th Cir.2005). We are left with “grave doubt” as to whether the error was harmless: not only was Mr.
Swank sentenced at the bottom of the Guidelines range, see id. at 645 (holding not harmless district court’s error in imposing sentence under mandatory Guidelines regime where court sentenced defendant to bottom of Guidelines range, even if no Sixth Amendment issue was present), but the court stated explicitly that the sentence given was the lowest allowed by law. Accordingly, we remand for resentencing.
