ORDER

2
The Court heard oral argument in this case on September 17, 1992.   We recently received word that the defendant died on November 8, 1992.   Because the defendant died before we were able to decide the merits of his appeal, we order that the appeal be dismissed on suggestion of death, that the district court's judgment be vacated, and that the case be remanded to the district court for dismissal of the indictment as to him.   United States v. Moehlenkamp, 557 F.2d 126, 126 (7th Cir.1977).
