No. 04-1951

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,                    Appeal from the United States District
    Plaintiff-Appellee,                      Court for the Northern District of
                                             Illinois, Eastern Division
      v.
                                             No. 02 CR 398-1
RANDY VELLEFF,
    Defendant-Appellant.                     Joan H. Lefkow,
                                             Judge.

                                    ORDER

      Randy Velleff was sentenced to 430 months’ imprisonment for robbery, 18
U.S.C. § 1951, and gun and drug crimes, 
id. § 924(c)(1)(A);
21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1),
846. On appeal he argued that the district court erred by sentencing him under the
mandatory sentencing guidelines, see United States v. Booker, 
125 S. Ct. 738
(2005), so we ordered a limited remand to ask if the court would have given him the
same sentence had it known the guidelines were advisory, United States v.
Paladino, 
401 F.3d 471
, 484 (7th Cir. 2005). The court answered that it would have
given him a lighter sentence. Consequently, the government concedes that Velleff’s
sentence must be vacated. We agree.

                                                      VACATED and REMANDED.
