1Opinion of the Court
RALPH B. GUY, Jr., Circuit Judge.
Defendant, Walter Wolak, was convicted after a jury trial of being a felon in possession of a firearm. 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). His sentence was enhanced as a result of his being subject to the Armed Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(1), 1 and a sentence of 20 years was imposed. Wolak appeals both his conviction and his sentence, raising numerous claims of error. Upon a review of the record, we find no error or combination of errors requiring reversal of defendant’s conviction but find it necessary to remand for resentencing.
