Nos. 09‐3954, 09‐3961 & 10‐1204
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff‐Appellee,
v.
SCOTT LEWIS, VERNON WILLIAMS
and LAVOYCE BILLINGSLEY,
Defendants‐Appellants.
Appeals from the United States District
Court for the Northern District of
Illinois, Eastern Division.
No. 1:07‐cr‐00007
Virginia M. Kendall,
Judge.
O R D E R
The final three paragraphs of the court’s April 6, 2011, opinion in this case are
stricken and the following inserted in their place:
Finally, Lewis and Williams argue that the district judge erred in imposing a
mandatory consecutive sentence under § 924(c). That argument, although contrary to our
precedent, United States v. Easter, 553 F.3d 519 (7th Cir. 2009), is now foreclosed by Abbott v.
United States, 131 S. Ct. 18 (2010).
For all these reasons, the judgments of the district court are AFFIRMED.
* The Honorable Michael P. McCuskey, United States District Court for the Central
District of Illinois, sitting by designation.
