The petition for rehearing filed by defendant-appellant Navarro is hereby GRANTED to the extent that footnote 1 of the original opinion issued October 27, 2015, is AMENDED to read as follows:
Where the government has breached a plea agreement based
* The Honorable Sara L. Ellis, of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, sitting by designation. No. 12-2606 2
on its sentencing recommendation, our usual course is to remand for resentencing before a different judge. See Diaz- Jimenez, 622 F.3d at 694 (“[A] minimum remedy [for breach of a plea agreement] is specific performance and resentencing by a different judge.”). We will follow our usual course in this case as well as suggest that the government consider assigning this case to a different prosecutor to avoid any appearance of unfairness in the sentencing process moving forward.
An amended opinion shall issue accordingly. The mandate shall issue immediately.
