United States v. Walter Leonardo

459 F. App'x 469

Opinion

ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

PER CURIAM: *

The Supreme Court vacated the judgment and remanded the case for further consideration in light of Tapia v. United States, 564 U.S.-, 131 S.Ct. 2382, 180 L.Ed.2d 357 (2011). The statement of the district judge at sentencing does support the contention that a longer sentence was given for medical care and the law is clear now that this was error. We therefore vacate the sentence and remand for resen-tencing.

Sentence VACATED; REMANDED for resentencing.

* Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
