POLITZ, Circuit Judge:

These consolidated appeals present challenges to sentencing. Donald James Roger and James Richard Melton pled guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute over 100 kilos of marihuana. Each received a sentence of imprisonment, supervised release, a fine, and the statutory special assessment. In addition to challenging his sentence Roger contends that the government breached an agreement with him. For the reasons and purposes assigned, we vacate the sentences imposed on Roger and Melton and remand for further proceedings and resentencing.
