Read US v. Luong, 09-10265

Defendants' sentences for use of a firearm in the commission of a violent crime are affirmed where: 1) defendants were not challenging their sentences but instead were challenging their convictions, a challenge that fell outside of the resentencing mandate of the court's previous decision; and 2) because section 924(c) required the sentences imposed, the district court did not err by giving defendants the mandatory sentences.
