v.

WALTER LEONARDO,

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                            USDC No. 2:09-CR-1079-1

 ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

Before REAVLEY, DENNIS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        The Supreme Court vacated the judgment and remanded the case for
further consideration in light of Tapia v. United States, 564 U.S. ___, 131 S.
Ct. 2382 (2011). The statement of the district judge at sentencing does
support the contention that a longer sentence was given for medical care and

       *
         Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.

                                No. 10-50382

the law is clear now that this was error. We therefore vacate the sentence
and remand for resentencing.
     Sentence VACATED; REMANDED for resentencing.
