111415P.pdf 03/30/2012 Kristopher Hamberg v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-1415
U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Fargo
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Smith,
Circuit Judge]
prisoner case - habeas. Hamberg used his firearm in two different
places, against two difference victims and for two different purposes, and,
under the law of his circuit, each instance of use is separately punishable
as a violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 924(C); as a result, his attorney's failure
to object to consecutive sentences on the two counts of using a firearm in
furtherance of a drug offense did not constitute ineffective assistance of
counsel.
