Text: 9 Two notable changes in the law occurred during the course of this case. First, in November 2001, after the Bordons appealed their second sentence, but before this Court's second decision was issued vacating it, Congress approved a revised version of the guideline associated with money laundering, U.S.S.G. § 2S1.1. This revision probably would have indicated a significantly reduced guideline range in this case had the Bordons been sentenced in 2001 or after. 10 Second, in April 2003, Congress passed the PROTECT Act. Section 3742(g)(1) of the act, known as the Feeney Amendment, provides that when re-sentencing after appellate remand, a district court should apply the Guidelines that were in place prior to the appeal.
