Petitioner-Appellant, the United States

Respondent-Appellee.
ORDER
After the district court’s decision denying William Kerr’s petition for a writ of
habeas corpus, this court vacated its judgment and remanded the case for Kerr to develop
his factual claims. Kerr v. Thurmer, 639 F.3d 315 (7th Cir. 2011). Respondent then filed a
petition for a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court, which granted the
petition, vacated our judgment, and remanded for reconsideration in light of Lafler v.
No. 09-1032 Page 2
Cooper, 132 S. Ct. 1376 (2012). Pursuant to Circuit Rule 54, the parties have now filed a joint
statement discussing what action they believe to be appropriate. They have indicated that
no further action in this court is needed at this time, and thus that the case can simply be
remanded to the district court for further proceedings consistent with Lafler. We agree with
that position, and so we hereby order the case REMANDED for this purpose.
