UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,                                  Appeal from the United
      Plaintiff-Appellee,                                  States District Court for the
                                                           Northern District of Illinois,
No. 07-2393                 v.                             Eastern Division.

DANIEL PACHECO-GONZALES,                                   No. 06 CR 43
     Defendant-Appellant.                                  Samuel Der-Yeghiayan, Judge.

                                          Order

       The United States concedes that Pacheco-Gonzales has preserved on appeal a
challenge to his conviction under 18 U.S.C. §924(c)(1), and that, in light of our opinion,
he did not use a firearm in connection with any violent felony or drug offense that
could be prosecuted in a court of the United States (as opposed to a state court).
The petition for rehearing is therefore granted, and Pacheco-Gonzales’s conviction
under §924(c)(1) is reversed. Because this means that all convictions of both defendants
have been reversed, there is no longer any occasion for a remand to the district court.
