OPINION

NIEMEYER, Circuit Judge:

This appeal presents principally two issues of criminal sentencing: (1) whether a sentence enhancement based upon a prior un-counseled misdemeanor conviction is unconstitutional, and (2) whether, for purposes of sentencing, a defendant’s admitted involvement in an earlier drug-related murder may be considered part of the same course of conduct as his possession of cocaine several months later, the offense of which he was convicted. Finding no error in the district court’s disposition of these issues and the various other issues appellants raise, we affirm.
