OPINION
RUFE, District Judge.
William West appeals the sentence imposed on him by the District Court for possession of a stolen firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(j). Specifically, West challenges the District Court’s application of a four-level enhancement to his sentence, pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(b)(6), for possessing a firearm in connection with another felony offense. We have jurisdiction over this appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 18 U.S.C. § 3742. For the reasons that follow, we vacate West’s sentence and remand to the District Court for resentencing.
