NONPRECEDENTIAL DISPOSITION To be cited only in accordance with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 United States Court of Appeals For the Seventh Circuit Chicago, Illinois 60604 Submitted June 11, 2007 Decided June 28, 2007 Before Hon. WILLIAM J. BAUER, Circuit Judge Hon. ILANA DIAMOND ROVNER, Circuit Judge Hon. ANN CLAIRE WILLIAMS, Circuit Judge No. 06-3390 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois. No. 02 CR 30086 RONALD E. BLAKE, Defendant-Appellant. G. Patrick Murphy, Chief Judge. ORDER The defendant-appellant was not given his right of allocution after the case was remanded for resentencing. The government agrees that the judge made a mistake but says that it was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. We are less sure of that proposition. Accordingly, the case is remanded again for resentencing and this time the defendant-appellant must be accorded his allocution rights.
