United States v. Victor Charles Reed

SNEED, Circuit Judge:

Appellant Reed pleaded guilty to one felony count of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (1988). A second count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine was dropped by the United States. Initially appellant was not sentenced under the Sentencing Guidelines, but subsequent to Mistretta v. United States, 488 U.S. 361, 109 S.Ct. 647, 102 L.Ed.2d 714 (1989), he was resentenced to 97 months in prison and a five-year term of supervised release. In this appeal he challenges his sentences on four grounds. We affirm.
