Docket

*2 Before KING, KEENAN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Trey R. Kelleter, VANDEVENTER BLACK LLP, Norfolk, Virginia; Jason Alan Dunn, JASON A. DUNN, PLC, Virginia Beach, Virginia; Lawrence H. Woodward, Jr., SHUTTLEWORTH, RULOFF, SWAIN, HADDAD & MORECOCK, P.C., Virginia Beach, Virginia; Robert B. Rigney, PROTOGYROU & RIGNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellants. Dana J. Boente, United States Attorney, Richard D. Cooke, Assistant United *3 States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Abdi Razaq Abshir Osman, Mohamed Abdi Jama, Abdicasiis Cabaase, and Mohamed Farah (collectively, “Defendants”) appeal their convictions and life sentences for piracy, in violation 18 U.S.C. § 1651 (2012). [*] We conclude that Defendants’ challenges to their convictions and life sentences are barred by the law-of-the-case doctrine because we previously considered and rejected Defendants’ arguments in United States v. Said , 798 F.3d 182, 193, 198-200 (4th Cir. 2015). See United States v. Aramony , 166 F.3d 655, 661 (4th Cir. 1999) (describing law-of-the-case doctrine and its exceptions). Accordingly, we affirm the amended judgments of the district court. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED

[*] Defendants also were convicted of and sentenced for other offenses, but they do not challenge those convictions or sentences on appeal.
