Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 124 F.3d 208 (8th Cir. 1997) Sept. 11, 1997. Submitted Sept. 4, 1997. Filed Sept. 11, 1997

Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


After Malachi Andrews was sentenced for drug-related charges, including using a firearm during a drug offense, the Supreme Court decided Bailey v. United States, 116 S. Ct. 501 (1995). In light of Bailey, the district court vacated the sentence originally imposed on the firearm conviction and imposed a revised sentence on Andrews's drug conviction with an enhancement based on his possession of a firearm. On appeal, Andrews contends the district court improperly resentenced him on his drug conviction. Andrews's arguments, however, are foreclosed by our recent decision in United States v. Harrison, 113 F.3d 135, 137-38 (8th Cir. 1997). We thus affirm Andrews's revised drug sentence. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
