1Opinion of the Court
FLETCHER, Circuit Judge:
Javier Vasquez-Velaseo was convicted in a jury trial of committing violent crimes in aid of a racketeering enterprise in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1959. Vasquez-Velaseo appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. He also argues that his trial was improperly joined, and appeals the district court’s denial of his motions for severance. Finally, he appeals the district court’s imposition of a sentence greater than ten years in the absence of a special verdict. We affirm.
