1Opinion of the Court

PRICE, District Judge:

OVERVIEW

Appellant Avinell Leake was charged by information with twenty-nine counts of passing forged checks at areas within federal jurisdiction, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 13 (1988) 1 and Cal. Penal Code § 470(a) (West Supp.1990). 2 She pleaded guilty to three counts. A magistrate sentenced her to one year on each count, to be served consecutively. The district court affirmed the sentence. 3

Leake attacks the legality and length of her sentence. Our jurisdiction is derived from 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1982). We vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing.
