                                            ORDER

       On August 15, 2018, this court ordered a limited remand under the procedure set
forth in United States v. Paladino, 401 F.3d 471, 483–84 (7th Cir. 2005), so that the district
court could state on the record whether it would impose the same sentence in light of
this court’s conclusion that the appellant, Matthew Elder, was not subject to a
twenty-year mandatory minimum sentence. United States v. Elder, 900 F.3d 491, 504 (7th
Cir. 2018). The district court has replied that it wishes to further review its sentencing
determination in light of this court’s conclusion and requests that the case be remanded

for resentencing. Accordingly, pursuant to Paladino, the court VACATES Mr. Elder’s
sentence and REMANDS the case to the district court for resentencing.
