    Tully Hamilton WASHINGTON, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES, Appellee.
    No. 11-CF-997.
    District of Columbia Court of Appeals.
    June 7, 2012.
    
      Before GLICKMAN and THOMPSON, Associate Judges, and REID, Senior Judge.
   JUDGMENT

This matter comes to this court on ap-pellee’s motion for summary affirmance of the sentencing order entered after appellant’s probation was revoked and appellant’s opposition. Appellant was convicted of Carrying a Pistol Without a License (“CPWL”), Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by a Felon (“UPF”), Unregistered Firearm (“UF”), and Unlawful Possession of Ammunition (“UA”) for possessing a pistol in a public alley. Appellant appealed his original convictions and this court upheld his convictions.

The only issue prompting this published order is whether appellant’s convictions for CPWL and UF merge in light of amendments to the District’s gun control laws following the Supreme Court’s decision in Heller, which he claims have undermined part of this court’s merger analysis in Tyree v. United States. In addition, appellant argues that his convictions for UPF and UF merge because, as a felon, he could not register a firearm, and thus, he violated both the UPF and UF statutes with the same act of possessing a firearm. However, neither the changes to the statutory scheme post-Heller nor Heller itself affects the essential holding of Tyree that CPWL and UF do not merge under the Blockburger test. Similarly, appellant’s UPF and UF convictions do not merge under Tyree and Blockburger.

“The Double Jeopardy Clause prohibits a second prosecution for a single crime and protects against multiple punishments for the same offense.” However, it “does not prohibit separate and cumulative punishment for separate criminal acts.” To determine “whether multiple convictions are constitutionally permissible for criminal conduct which violates two distinct statutory provisions, absent a clearly contrary legislative intent, this court applies the Blockburger test.” Under the Blockburger test, whether two offenses merge depends upon whether each requires proof of a fact which the other does not. Further, applying the Block-burger test requires a review of the statutory elements of the offense as opposed to the specific facts of the case. Here, these three offenses are distinct offenses because each requires an element that the other does not.

To establish CPWL, the government must demonstrate that 1) the defendant carried a pistol, either openly or concealed on his person, outside the home or business and 2) without a license to do so. To prove UF, the government must show that the defendant knowingly possessed a firearm; and 2) that firearm had not been registered as required by law. Lastly, to prove UPF, the government must show that 1) the defendant had been convicted of a felony and 2) that he owned or kept a firearm, or that he had a firearm in his possession or under his control. Each of these offenses requires the finding of a different element: CPWL requires that the weapon be “carried,” UF requires that the weapon be unregistered, and UPF requires that the individual possessing the weapon be a felon. Heller does not change this Blockburger analysis; if Heller were applicable here (which it is not, if only because appellant carried his handgun outside his home), appellant’s CPWL conviction might be invalid, but not on merger grounds. Therefore, the holding in Tyree has not been overruled or otherwise affected by Heller and subsequent statutory amendments passed to implement the Heller decision.

Accordingly, on consideration of appel-lee’s motion for summary affirmance, the opposition thereto, appellant’s brief and appendix, and the record on appeal, it is

ORDERED that appellee’s motion for summary affirmance is granted. It is

FURTHER ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the judgment on appeal be, and hereby is, affirmed.
