MEMORANDUM**

The Double Jeopardy Clause does not bar cumulative punishment for carjacking, in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2119, and for using or carrying a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 924(c)(1). United States v. Martinez, No. 93-50803, slip op. 2545, 2551-55 (9th Cir. Mar. 7, 1995). Accordingly, we reverse the district court's order requiring the government to elect between the carjacking count and the firearms count.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.
