Abstract. Affirmative answers are given to the following two questions about the Weyl algebras: a question of J. Alev: Does the first Weyl algebra contain a non-noetherian subalgebra?, and a question of T. Lenagan: Is there a uniserial module M of length 2 over the Weyl algebra An with a holonomic submodule U such that V = M/U is non-holonomic?
