No. 03 CR 26

FREDDIE J. BOOKER, Defendant-Appellant. John C. Shabaz, Judge.

ORDER

The opinion issued July 9 is amended by adding the following sentence as a new, final paragraph of the opinion (just before "Reversed and Remand:):

Because the government does not argue that Booker's Sixth Amendment challenge to the guidelines was forfeited by not being made in the district court, we need not consider the application of the doctrine of plain error, e.g., United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 731 (1993), to challenges inspired by the Blakely decision.
