UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,                      Appeal from the United States
              Plaintiff-Appellee,              District Court for the Southern
                                               District of Illinois.

                                               No. 02 CR 30086
RONALD E. BLAKE,
            Defendant-Appellant.               G. Patrick Murphy,
                                               Chief Judge.

                                    ORDER

       The defendant-appellant was not given his right of allocution after the case
was remanded for resentencing. The government agrees that the judge made a
mistake but says that it was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. We are less sure
of that proposition.

      Accordingly, the case is remanded again for resentencing and this time the
defendant-appellant must be accorded his allocution rights.
