1Opinion of the Court
ROVNER, Circuit Judge.
In 1990, a jury found Marvin Smith guilty of one count of conspiracy to distribute in excess of five kilograms of cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846. The court allowed Smith to remain free on bond pending his sentencing. Smith never appeared for his sentencing hearing and remained at large for fourteen years. In 2004, the long arm of the law caught up with Smith and the district court sentenced him to thirty years’ imprisonment. Smith appeals his conviction and sentence. We affirm his conviction but vacate his sentence and remand for resentencing.
