Before

DANIEL A. MANION, Circuit Judge

No. 02‐3584

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Appeal from the United States

Plaintiff‐Appellee, District Court for the Northern

District of Illinois, Eastern Division.

v. No. 01 CR 567

PEDRO L. CASTILLO,

Defendant‐Appellant. Harry D. Leinenweber, Judge.

O R D E R

On December 1, 2009, the district court issued an order in which it said that it would

not have imposed the same sentence, if it had known the extent of its discretion to deviate

from the guidelines in crack cocaine sentences.  See Kimbrough v. United States, 128 S. Ct. 558

(2007).  It further indicated that it would be inclined to impose a lesser sentence.

Accordingly, in conformity with our order of October 7, 2008, we therefore vacate

the defendant’s sentence and remand for resentencing as contemplated by that order.

It is so ordered.

NONPRECEDENTIAL DISPOSITION
