United States Eleventh Circuit

In a drug and firearm possession prosecution, defendant's appeal from his consecutive sentences is dismissed where: 1) 18 U.S.C. section 924(c)(1)(A) required consecutive sentences where the underlying offense carried a mandatory minimum that exceeded the minimum applicable to the firearm offense; and 2) thus defendant's argument on appeal did not fit within any of the applicable appeal waiver exceptions.
