United States Second Circuit

Affirmed convictions for using firearms in the commission of violent crimes. The defendant argued that his firearm convictions must be vacated because the felonies in which the firearms were used -- substantive and conspiratorial Hobbs Act robbery -- were not crimes of violence within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. section 924(c)(3). Rejecting his argument, the Second Circuit affirmed his convictions.
