OPINION 

 

PER CURIAM

On appeal, Milton Brown challenges an enhancement of his sentence based on

facts that were neither admitted by him nor found beyond a reasonable doubt. He admits

that the issue he raises – whether the District Court erred in failing to apply the proof

beyond a reasonable doubt standard in determining the enhancement – was decided

adversely to him in United States v. Grier, 475 F.3d 556 (3d Cir. 2007) (en banc).

Although the issue has been decided by us, Brown seeks to preserve the issue in

anticipation of review by the Supreme Court.

This panel does not have the authority to disturb the holding of an en banc decision

of this Court. Accordingly, the judgment of the District Court will be affirmed.
