Heading: appellant's convictions and sentencing

Text: On September 4, 1987, appellant was convicted by a jury of carrying a pistol without a license (CPWOL) (D.C.Code § 22-3204 (1989)); possession of an unregistered firearm (D.C.Code § 6-2311 (1989)); possession of unregistered ammunition (D.C.Code § 6-2361 (1989)); and attempted theft in the second degree (D.C.Code § 22-3811 (1989)). On October 22, 1987, the trial judge imposed an enhanced sentence of three to nine years [3] on the CPWOL conviction. The basis for the enhanced sentence was appellant's prior conviction for armed robbery which had been disclosed in a government information filed pursuant to § 23-111(a)(1). [4] This court affirmed appellant's convictions in an unpublished memorandum opinion and judgment, Norman v. United States, No. 87-1216 (D.C. March 31, 1989). In his direct appeal, appellant did not challenge his sentence or any prior conviction.
