NONPRECEDENTIAL DISPOSITION To be cited only in accordance with Fed.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 August 25, 2008* Decided October 3, 2008 Before FRANK H. EASTERBROOK, Chief Judge JOHN L. COFFEY, Circuit Judge DIANE P. WOOD, Circuit Judge No. 07-2234 Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. No. 05-CR-39-C-01 JOHN A. RADERMACHER, Defendant-Appellant. Barbara B. Crabb, Chief Judge. Order After a limited remand under United States v. Taylor, 522 F.3d 731 (7th Cir. 2008), the district judge informed us that she would have imposed a lower sentence had she known about the extent of her discretion under Kimbrough v. United States, 128 S. Ct. 558 (2007). Given this conclusion, the prejudice component of plain-error review has been established. The sentence is vacated, and the case is remanded for resentencing in light of Kimbrough. *After examining the briefs and the record, we have concluded that oral argument is unnecessary. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); Cir. R. 34(f).
