[DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FILED FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT U.S. COURT OF APPEALS ________________________ ELEVENTH CIRCUIT FEBRUARY 20, 2009 No. 08-15220 THOMAS K. KAHN Non-Argument Calendar CLERK ________________________ D. C. Docket No. 08-60042-CR-WJZ UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus TALLIUS JERROD HARRELL, Defendant-Appellant. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida _________________________ (February 20, 2009) Before CARNES, WILSON and PRYOR, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Tallius Harrell appeals his sentence of 180 months of imprisonment for possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon. 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 924(e). Harrell argues, for the first time on appeal, that the district court violated the Fifth and Sixth Amendment when it sentenced him based on convictions that were not listed in his indictment. Harrell concedes that his argument is foreclosed by the decision of the Supreme Court in Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 228, 118 S. Ct. 1219, 1223–26 (1998). The district court did not plainly err when it sentenced Harrell. Harrell’s sentence is AFFIRMED.
