WILL, District Judge.
Mark Anthony Hopson was charged with conspiring to distribute cocaine. Subsequently, he pleaded guilty to this charge and was sentenced to seventy months of imprisonment. In determining Hopson’s sentence, the district court increased his criminal history category, finding that his prior state misdemeanor conviction for cocaine possession was not part of the conspiracy charge.
