UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Ronald E. BLAKE, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 06-3390.
    United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.
    Submitted June 11, 2007.
    Decided June 28, 2007.
    Angela Scott, Office of the United States Attorney, Fairview Heights, IL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Gareth G. Morris, Chicago, IL, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before Hon. WILLIAM J. BAUER, Circuit Judge, Hon. ILANA DIAMOND ROVNER, Circuit Judge and Hon. ANN CLAIRE WILLIAMS, Circuit Judge.
   ORDER

The defendant-appellant was not given his right of allocution after the case was remanded for resentencing. The government agrees that the judge made a mistake but says that it was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. We are less sure of that proposition.

Accordingly, the case is remanded again for resentencing and this time the defendant-appellant must be accorded his allocution rights.
