RONNIE BARLOW, a/k/a “RUMP”,
           Defendant-Appellant.

                                      ORDER

       A jury in the Northern District of Illinois convicted Ronnie Barlow of
conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances in violation of
21 U.S.C. § 846. While his appeal remained pending, the Supreme Court issued its
decision in United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005). We remanded to ask
whether the judge would have imposed a lesser sentence had he known that the
guidelines were advisory. See United States v. Paladino, 401 F.3d 471, 483-84 (7th
Cir. 2005). The judge said yes, and therefore we VACATE Barlow’s sentence and
remand for re-sentencing.
