       On May 25, 2004, this Court issued its opinion and judgment in the above
captioned case. On June 22, 2004, appellant Angel Gonzalez filed a petition for rehearing
en banc which was denied by order entered July 7, 2004.

        On July 8, 2004, Appellant filed a Motion to Amend Appellant’s Motion for Leave
to File Supplemental Petition for Rehearing in Light of the Supreme Court’s Decision in
Blakely v. Washington 542 U.S. 296 (2004) which the Court has construed as a Motion
to Reopen the Appeal in Light of Supreme Court's Decision in Blakely;

       On August 5, 2004, the Court issued an order holding c.a.v. all motions relating to
the Supreme Court’s decision in Blakely;

       On July 8, 2005, the Court directed the parties to file written comment as to the
applicability of the Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Booker, 125 S. Ct. 738
(2005) to the present case.

        Upon review of the parties’ comments, and particularly the government’s
concession “that under the precedent of this Court, set forth in United States v. Davis, 407
F.3d 162 (3d Cir. 2005), this case should be remanded for resentencing, allowing the
district court to consider the application of Booker in the first instance,”it is hereby
O R D E R E D that the Motion to Reopen the Appeal is granted. The Court’s opinion
and judgment entered May 25, 2004 are amended in accordance with this Court’s
procedures set forth in United States v. Davis, 407 F.3d 162 (3d Cir. 2005).
