Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge GINSBURG.
Concurring opinion filed by Circuit Judge HENDERSON.
GINSBURG, Circuit Judge:
In this appeal we are asked to decide whether a criminal defendant whose ease we have remanded to the district court for re-sentencing may there raise for the first time a challenge to his sentence that is unrelated to the reason for the remand. We hold that he may not do so unless his newly-raised objection to the sentence is based upon an error so plain that the district court or the court of appeals should have raised it for him.
