court could state on the record whether it would impose the same sentence in light of
this court’s conclusion that the appellant, Matthew Elder, was not subject to a
twenty-year mandatory minimum sentence. United States v. Elder, 900 F.3d 491, 504 (7th
Cir. 2018). The district court has replied that it wishes to further review its sentencing
