        UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT

                                      No. 02-3067

                          UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                                      Appellee

                                           v.

                                   ISAAC RIVERA,

                                                      Appellant

          ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                  FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY

                  District Court Judge: Honorable Jerome B. Simandle
                             (D.C. Crim. No. 01-cr-00373-5)

                              Argued: December 4, 2003

                 Before: SLOVITER and ALITO, Circuit Judges, and
                          OBERDORFER,* District Judge.

                           ORDER AMENDING OPINION

   *
    The Honorable Louis F. Oberdorfer, Senior District Judge for the District of
Columbia, sitting by designation.
      IT IS ORDERED that the slip opinion in the above case, filed February 9, 2004, be

amended as follows:

      Footnote 4 should be revised to read as follows:

      The availability of de novo review on appeal regardless of whether Rivera
      formally objected to the government’s advocacy makes it unnecessary for us
      to pursue the question of whether this indirect notice entitles Rivera to de
      novo review on independent grounds.

      Footnote 6 should be deleted in its entirety and prior footnotes 7, 8 and 9 should be

renumbered accordingly.

                                         By the Court,

                                         /s/ Louis F. Oberdorfer
                                         District Judge

Dated: February 20, 2004
