1Opinion of the Court
HATCHETT, Circuit Judge:
In this Sentencing Guidelines case, we hold that where a court withholds adjudication of guilt after a nolo contendere plea, the plea does not constitute a “prior sentence” under section 4A1.2(a)(l) of the Sentencing Guidelines; we also hold, however, that such a prior offense is a “diversionary disposition” under section 4A1.2(f) of the Sentencing Guidelines and is counted as a prior sentence in computing the criminal history category.
