KEITH KYSER, a/k/a “KEEZO”,
            Defendant-Appellant.


                                      ORDER

       A jury in the Northern District of Illinois convicted Keith Kyser of conspiracy
to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances in violation of 21 U.S.C. §
846. While his appeal remained pending, the Supreme Court issued its decision in
United States v. Booker, 
543 U.S. 220
(2005). We remanded to ask whether the
judge would have imposed a lesser sentence had he known that the guidelines were
advisory. See United States v. Paladino, 
401 F.3d 471
, 483-84 (7th Cir.2005). The
judge said yes, and therefore we VACATE Kyser’s sentence and REMAND for
resentencing.
