                                     ORDER

       Kapp was sentenced to 51 months’ imprisonment for violations of the
Endangered Species Act and the Lacey Act. On appeal, Kapp argued, among other
things, that his sentence violated the Sixth Amendment. See United States v.
Booker, 
543 U.S. 220
(2005); United States v. Paladino, 
401 F.3d 471
, 481 (7th Cir.
2005). We remanded to ask whether the judge would have imposed a lesser
sentence had she known that the guidelines were advisory. See 
Paladino, 401 F.3d at 483
–84. The judge answered that she would have imposed the same sentence.
Because that sentence fell within the correctly calculated guidelines range, it is
presumptively reasonable. See United States v. Mykytiuk, 
415 F.3d 606
, 608 (7th
Cir. 2005). Kapp filed no response before us to rebut that presumption and our
independent review uncovers nothing to suggest unreasonableness. Therefore, in
addition to his convictions, Kapp’s sentence is also AFFIRMED.
