BOGGS, Circuit Judge.

On November 5, 2008, Jessie Monghan was convicted of bank robbery, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and brandishing a firearm while committing a crime of violence. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 2113(a), 2113(d), 922(g)(1), 924(c)(1). Monghan was sentenced to 437 months in custody. Monghan challenges both his convictions, which we affirm, and his sentences for being a felon in possession of a firearm and bank robbery, which we reverse.
