United States v. Edwards, Donald F.
Opinion
UNPUBLISHED ORDER Not to be cited per Circuit Rule 53
United States Court of Appeals For the Seventh Circuit Chicago, Illinois 60604 June 23, 2006 Before Hon. JOHN L. COFFEY, Circuit Judge Hon. DANIEL A. MANION, Circuit Judge Hon. DIANE P. WOOD, Circuit Judge No. 04-1349 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Appeal from the United States District Plaintiff-Appellee, Court for the Central District of Illinois v. No. 02-40143-001 DONALD EDWARDS, Defendant-Appellant. Joe Billy McDade, Judge.
ORDER Donald Edwards was sentenced to 248 months’ imprisonment for violations of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), 18 U.S.C. § 924(c), and § 922(g)(1). He appealed, arguing that the district court plainly erred by sentencing him under the formerly mandatory guideline regime. See United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005). We remanded to ask whether the district court judge would have imposed a different sentence had he known that the guidelines were advisory. See United States v. Paladino, 401 F.3d 471, 481 (7th Cir. 2005). He answered that he would. Thus, we VACATE Edwards’ sentence and REMAND for resentencing.
