1Opinion of the Court
REAVLEY, Circuit Judge:
Juan Velasquez appeals the district court’s denial of his Fed.R.Crim.P. 35 1 motion to correct his sentence. Finding that the sentence was imposed in an illegal manner, we reverse the judgment, vacate the sentence, and remand for resentencing.
Velasquez pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting the unlawful transportation of illegal aliens in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2) (1982) and 18 U.S.C. § 2 (1982). On September 19, 1983, the district court sentenced Velasquez to five years, the maximum period of incarceration allowed by 8 U.S.C. § 1324 (1982).
