Upon consideration of DEFENDANT‐APPELLANT’S MOTION TO AMEND
OPINION filed by counsel on September 22, 2010,

-- 1 of 2 --

Nos. 08‐2512, 08‐2443 & 08‐4055 Page 2
IT IS ORDERED that the motion is GRANTED. The slip opinion issued on
September 17, 2010, is amended in two ways. First, the last two sentences of the first
paragraph of the opinion are replaced with the following two sentences: “Ellis appealed his
conviction and sentence in the Indiana case, and the government appealed the district
court’s sentencing decision in the Illinois case. Ellis then cross‐appealed in the Illinois case
challenging the reasonableness of the sentence.” Second, the caption for the Illinois appeals
is amended to reflect that the United States is the Plaintiff‐Appellant/Cross‐Appellee and
Bernard Ellis is the Defendant‐Appellee/Cross‐Appellant.
