NONPRECEDENTIAL DISPOSITION To be cited only in accordance with  Fed.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 December 18, 2008 Decided January 15, 2009 Before      WILLIAM J. BAUER, Circuit Judge      RICHARD A. POSNER, Circuit Judge      ANN CLAIRE WILLIAMS, Circuit Judge No. 08 3326 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff Appellee, Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. v. No. 06 CR 102 CHAZ GARRETT, Defendant Appellant. Barbara B. Crabb,      Chief Judge. O R D E R Chaz Garrett was convicted after pleading guilty to distribution of 5 grams or more of crack cocaine.  Judge Shabaz imposed a sentence that this court reversed and remanded because of a miscalculation of the defendant s criminal history. Chief Judge Crabb (not the original sentencing Judge) followed the Court of Appeals recommendations and sentenced Mr. Garrett based on appropriate criminal history and reduced the crack Guideline range by two levels.  This resulted in the original sentence being reduced from 189 months to 121 months. The reasoning of the court and the resulting sentence were well within the Guideline range and are not subject to further review.  The district court s order is summarily affirmed.
