United States v. Brown, Anthony

UNPUBLISHED ORDER Not to be cited per Circuit Rule 53 United States Court of Appeals For the Seventh Circuit Chicago, Illinois 60604 April 5, 2006 Before Hon. FRANK H. EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge Hon. ILANA DIAMOND ROVNER, Circuit Judge Hon. DIANE S. SYKES, Circuit Judge No. 04-1534 Appeal from the United States District Court for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Northern District of Illinois, Plaintiff-Appellee, Eastern Division. v. No. 03 CR 886 ANTHONY BROWN, Suzanne B. Conlon, Defendant-Appellant. Judge. ORDER This court ordered a limited remand so the district court could state on the record whether the sentence remains appropriate now that United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005), has limited the Sentencing Guidelines to advisory status. See United States v. Paladino, 401 F.3d 471 (7th Cir. 2005). The district judge has now replied that she would have imposed a lower sentence rather than the 97-month sentence then mandated by the guidelines. The parties’ position statements in response to our invitation to comment on the district court’s Paladino response agree that resentencing is appropriate. Accordingly, pursuant to Paladino, we VACATE Brown’s sentence and REMAND to the district court for resentencing.
