No. 12-2606

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,                                    Appeal from the United States District
Plaintiff-Appellee,                                          Court for the Southern District of

                                                             No. 11 CR 30046
SALVADOR GUADALUPE NAVARRO,
Defendant-Appellant.                                         Michael J. Reagan,
                                                             Chief Judge.

                                                 ORDER

      The petition for rehearing filed by defendant-appellant Navarro is hereby
GRANTED to the extent that footnote 1 of the original opinion issued October 27, 2015,
is AMENDED to read as follows:

                  Where the government has breached a plea agreement based

* The Honorable Sara L. Ellis, of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois,
sitting by designation.
No. 12-2606                                                                        2

              on its sentencing recommendation, our usual course is to
              remand for resentencing before a different judge. See Diaz-
              Jimenez, 622 F.3d at 694 (“[A] minimum remedy [for breach of
              a plea agreement] is specific performance and resentencing by
              a different judge.”). We will follow our usual course in this
              case as well as suggest that the government consider
              assigning this case to a different prosecutor to avoid any
              appearance of unfairness in the sentencing process moving
              forward.

An amended opinion shall issue accordingly. The mandate shall issue immediately.
