United States v. Anthony W. Call
Opinion
United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 96-4276 ___________ United States of America, * * Appellee, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the * Western District of Missouri.
Anthony W. Call, * * (UNPUBLISHED) Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: May 29, 1997 Filed: June 2, 1997 ___________ Before BOWMAN, WOLLMAN, and BEAM, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.
Anthony W. Call was convicted of possessing with intent to distribute crack and powder cocaine, see 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A)(iii), and (b)(1)(C) (1988), and using a firearm during and in relation to a drug- trafficking offense, see 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1) (1988).
The District Court1 sentenced Call to concurrent 190-month terms on the drug counts and a consecutive 60-month term

The government conceded Call’s firearm conviction should be vacated in light of Bailey, but argued the District Court should enhance Call’s drug sentences under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2D1.1(b)(1) (1987) for his possession of a firearm. The District Court vacated Call’s firearm conviction, assessed the firearm-possession enhancement, and resentenced Call to concurrent 210-month terms on the drug counts.
On appeal, Call argues that the District Court lacked jurisdiction to resentence him on the unchallenged drug convictions, and that application of the firearm- possession enhancement violates double jeopardy and due process. We conclude, however, that Call’s arguments are foreclosed by United States v. Harrison, No. 96-2544, slip op. at 3-6 (8th Cir. May 9, 1997) (rejecting same arguments).
Accordingly, the judgment of the District Court is affirmed.
