Hon. TERENCE T. EVANS, Circuit Judge
No. 02-3265
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
RONNIE BARLOW, a/k/a “RUMP”,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States
District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois, Eastern Division
No. 99 CR 544
Wayne R. Andersen, Judge.
O R D E R
A jury in the Northern District of Illinois convicted Ronnie Barlow of
conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances in violation of
21 U.S.C. § 846. While his appeal remained pending, the Supreme Court issued its
decision in United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005). We remanded to ask
whether the judge would have imposed a lesser sentence had he known that the
guidelines were advisory. See United States v. Paladino, 401 F.3d 471, 483-84 (7th
Cir. 2005). The judge said yes, and therefore we VACATE Barlow’s sentence and
remand for re-sentencing.
