1Opinion of the Court
*934WILKINS, Circuit Judge:
Ian Gordon appeals his conviction of possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute. 21 U.S.C.A. § 841(a)(1) (West 1981). He claims violations of the fourth and fifth amendments and that the district court erroneously denied him offense level reductions for acceptance of responsibility and for being a minimal participant. The United States cross-appeals Gordon’s sentence claiming that the district court erroneously found Gordon to be a minor participant. We affirm the conviction but reverse and remand for resentencing.
