No. 09-3385

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

Plaintiff-Appellee,

v.

LARRY D. BILLIAN,

Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United 

States District Court for the 

Northern District of Indiana, 

Fort Wayne Division.

No. 1:08-CR-31

William C. Lee, Judge.

Order

Our opinion in this appeal, 600 F.3d 791 (7th Cir. 2010), concluded that Billian’s 

conviction is valid but, after identifying an error in the Guidelines calculation, ordered a 

limited remand “so that the district judge can tell us whether the error in converting 

pounds to kilograms affected the exercise of discretion in sentencing. If the judge 

answers yes, we will remand for a full resentencing; if the judge answers no, we will 

affirm Billian’s sentence.” The district judge has informed us that the error did affect 

Billian’s sentence. Therefore, although Billian’s conviction is affirmed, his sentence is 

now vacated, and the case is remanded for resentencing. The mandate will issue 

immediately.
