OPINION OF THE COURT
JORDAN, Circuit Judge.
I. Background
Justine Wright 1 appeals the judgment entered by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania sentencing him to 20 months’ imprisonment. Wright argues that the sentence was proeedurally unreasonable due to the erroneous application of an 8-level enhancement. Although the District Court’s rationale for applying the 8-level enhancement was thoughtful and well-explained, we agree with Wright that the enhancement should not have been applied in this case and will therefore vacate and remand for resentencing.
