ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

ORDER AMENDING OPINION
*
The Honorable Louis F. Oberdorfer, Senior District Judge for the District of
Columbia, sitting by designation.
IT IS ORDERED that the slip opinion in the above case, filed February 9, 2004, be
amended as follows:
Footnote 4 should be revised to read as follows:
The availability of de novo review on appeal regardless of whether Rivera
formally objected to the government’s advocacy makes it unnecessary for us
to pursue the question of whether this indirect notice entitles Rivera to de
novo review on independent grounds.
Footnote 6 should be deleted in its entirety and prior footnotes 7, 8 and 9 should be
renumbered accordingly.
By the Court,
/s/ Louis F. Oberdorfer
District Judge
Dated: February 20, 2004
