OPINION
WILKINS, Chief Judge.
Brian A. Moreland appeals his convictions on two counts of possession with the intent to distribute cocaine base, see 21 U.S.C.A. § 841(a)(1) (West 1999). The Government cross-appeals Moreland’s sentence, 1 arguing that the district court acted unreasonably in imposing a sentence of ten years imprisonment — -a two-thirds reduction from the bottom of the advisory guideline range. We affirm Moreland’s convictions. However, we agree with the Government that the sentence imposed by the district court is unreasonable. We therefore vacate it and remand for resen-tencing.
