PER CURIAM.
In 1992, a jury found Johnson guilty of conspiring to distribute cocaine and
methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841 and 846 (1994); possessing with
intent to distribute cocaine, methamphetamine, and cocaine base, in violation of 21
U.S.C. § 841 (1994); and two counts of possessing a firearm in relation to drug
trafficking, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924 (1994). The District Court1 sentenced
Johnson to 124 months on the drug counts and 300 months on the firearm counts, to be
served consecutively, plus five years supervised release. Upon Johnson&s 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255 (1994) motion, the District Court vacated his firearm convictions in light of
Bailey v. United States, 116 S. Ct. 501, 506 (1995). After imposing a two-level
enhancement for the possession of a firearm, see U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual
§ 2D1.1(b)(1) (1995) (providing for two-level enhancement if firearm involved), the
Court resentenced Johnson to concurrent 188-month prison terms on the drug counts,
and five years supervised release.
Johnson appeals, arguing 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. These arguments
are foreclosed by United States v. Harrison, 113 F.3d 135, 137-38 (8th Cir. 1997).
Johnson also argues the District Court erroneously resentenced him at a higher point
within the applicable Guidelines range, as compared to his original sentence. Because
Johnson&s sentence falls within the applicable Guidelines range, it is not reviewable.
See 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a) (1994); United States v. Woodrum, 959 F.2d 100, 101 (8th
Cir. 1992) (per curiam).
Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
