OPINION
PER CURIAM:
David Tyrone Hall and Hassen Emanuel Reeves were tried
together for their participation in a multicount drug conspiracy and
related crimes. Hall and Reeves were tried together and both were
convicted of numerous counts. On appeal, their cases have been con-
solidated. For the reasons that follow, we affirm in part and vacate
and remand in part.
Hall and Reeves were convicted of Count 1, conspiracy to distrib-
ute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine, cocaine base and
heroin. Because the jury returned a general form as to the multidrug
conspiracy, the defendants cannot be sentenced for more than the stat-
utory maximum for the least-serious single drug conspiracy. See
United States v. Rhynes, 206 F.3d 349, 379-80 (4th Cir. 1999), peti-
tion for cert. filed, No. 99-9386 (May 2, 2000). This Court decided
Rhynes after Appellants were sentenced, and thus, the district court
did not have the benefit of our opinion. Accordingly, we vacate the
Appellants’ sentences for Count 1 and remand for the district court to
calculate their sentences in accordance with our decision in Rhynes.
Appellants raise numerous other claims on appeal, including claims
raised in Hall’s pro se informal brief. Although we grant Hall’s
UNITED STATES v. HALL 3
motion to file his supplemental pro se brief, we find no other revers-
ible error. We also deny Hall’s motion for an extension of time to file
a reply to the Government’s response to his pro se informal brief.
Accordingly, we affirm the Appellants’ convictions and other sen-
tences. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED IN PART AND VACATED
AND REMANDED IN PART
