The following excerpt is from United States v. Rivera, No. 16-191-cr (2nd Cir. 2017):
v. Young, 561 F. App'x 85, 94 (2d Cir. 2014) (stating that " 924(j)'s authorization of the death penalty and life imprisonment likely indicates that it is a stand-alone offense"); see also United States v. Julian, 633 F.3d 1250, 1254 (11th Cir. 2011) (holding same). Accordingly, no indictment error warrants relief from judgment.
