Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 139 F.3d 909 (9th Cir. 1998) Submitted February 9, 1998. **Decided Feb. 19, 1998

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii Alan C. Kay, District Judge, Presiding.

Before PREGERSON, CANBY and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM* 

Federal prisoner Alan Nohara appeals the sentence imposed by the district court following Nohara's successful 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion seeking to vacate the firearm portion of his conviction. Nohara contends the district court lacked jurisdiction to resentence him for his remaining drug conviction and enhance his sentence under U.S .S.G. § 2D1.1.

We reject this contention in light of our recent opinion in United States v. Handa, 122 F.3d 690 (9th Cir. 1997), cert. denied, 66 USLW 3473 (U.S. Jan. 20, 1998) (No. 97-7156). Accordingly, the district court is

AFFIRMED.

 **

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4. Accordingly, Wells's request for oral argument is denied
