UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
Johnny Lee TUCKER, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 96-10311.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted Aug. 25, 1997.**
Decided Aug. 28, 1997.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California Robert E. Coyle, Senior District Judge, Presiding
Before: SCHROEDER, FERNANDEZ and RYMER, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM*
Federal prisoner Johnny Lee Tucker appeals the 135-month sentence imposed by the district court following Tucker's successful 28 U.S.C. § 225 § motion seeking to vacate the firearm portion of his conviction. Tucker contends the district court lacked jurisdiction to then resentence him for his remaining drug conviction and enhance his sentence under U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1.
We reject this contention in light of our recent opinion in United States v. Handa, 110 F.3d 42 (9th Cir.1997), as amended, No. 96-16468, slip op. 9151 (Aug. 4, 1997). Accordingly, the district court is
AFFIRMED.
