No. 02‐3584

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,                               Appeal from the United States 
     Plaintiff‐Appellee,                                District Court for the Northern
                                                        District of Illinois, Eastern Division.

                                     v.                 No. 01 CR 567
PEDRO L. CASTILLO,
     Defendant‐Appellant.                               Harry D. Leinenweber, Judge.

                                             O R D E R

        On December 1, 2009, the district court issued an order in which it said that it would
not have imposed the same sentence, if it had known the extent of its discretion to deviate
from the guidelines in crack cocaine sentences.  See Kimbrough v. United States, 128 S. Ct. 558
(2007).  It further indicated that it would be inclined to impose a lesser sentence.

       Accordingly, in conformity with our order of October 7, 2008, we therefore vacate
the defendant’s sentence and remand for resentencing as contemplated by that order.

                                                                                     It is so ordered.
