TERENCE T. EVANS, Circuit Judge

* MICHAEL P. McCUSKEY, District Judge

Nos. 09‐3954, 09‐3961 & 10‐1204

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Appeals from the United States District Plaintiff‐Appellee, Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. v. No. 1:07‐cr‐00007 SCOTT LEWIS, VERNON WILLIAMS and LAVOYCE BILLINGSLEY, Virginia M. Kendall, Defendants‐Appellants. 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.
