UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,                        Appeal from the United States District

                                                 No. 03 CR 58
WILLIAM HENRY SMITH, III,
     Defendant-Appellant.                        Allen Sharp,
                                                 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,
125 S. Ct. 738
(2005), has limited the Guidelines to advisory status. See United States
v. Paladino, 
401 F.3d 471
(7th Cir. 2005).

    The district judge has now replied that he would today impose the same sentence,
knowing of the Guidelines’ advisory status. The range under the Guidelines is 110 to
137 months, and Smith’s sentence of 110 months is the lowest possible sentence. We
do not see any reason why Smith’s sentence would be deemed “unreasonable” in post-
Booker practice. The judgment of the district court therefore is AFFIRMED.
