UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Addo WILLIAMS, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 03-4218.
    United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.
    Feb. 14, 2006.
    Michelle L. Jacobs, Office of the United States Attorney, Milwaukee, WI, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Richard H. Parsons, Office of the Federal Public Defender, Peoria, IL, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before Hon. KENNETH F. RIPPLE, Hon. DANIEL A. MANION, and Hon. DIANE S. SYKES, Circuit Judges.
   ORDER

This court ordered a limited remand so the district court could state on the record whether the sentence remains appropriate now that United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), has limited the guidelines to advisory status. See United States v. Paladino, 401 F.3d 471 (7th Cir.2005).

The district judge has now replied that he would today impose the same sentence, knowing of the guidelines’ advisory status. The range under the guidelines is 84 to 105 months, and Williams’ sentence of 96 months is slightly above the midpoint. The defendant did not respond to our invitation to file an argument concerning the appropriate disposition of the appeal in light of the district court’s response. We do not see any reason why Williams’ sentence would be deemed “unreasonable” in post-Booker practice. The judgment of the district court therefore is Affirmed.
