Description
Homero Avellaneda-Gama ("Homero"), Maclavio Avellaneda-Gama ("Maclavio"), and William Ney Ramirez-Perez ("Ramirez") challenge their convictions and sentences for multiple offenses relating to a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy. We dispose of their challenges as follows. We vacate Maclavios convictions for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine, and remand the case for a new trial on those charges, because the district court violated the Bruton rule when it allowed a prosecution witness to relate an out-of-court statement made by Homero that implicated Maclavio. We affirm Maclavios remaining conviction for possession of a firearm as well as the convictions of Homero and Ramirez. Finally, we vacate the portion of Homeros sentences that mandates, as a condition of supervised release, that Homero be deported; the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act ("IIRIRA"), Pub.L. No. 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009 (1996), as amended by Act of Oct. 11, 1996, Pub.L. No. 104-302, 110 Stat. 3656, divested the district court of authority to impose such a condition.
