OPINION
BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge:
Emanuel Brown pleaded guilty to a single count of distributing crack cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). During sentencing, the district court classified Brown as a career offender because he had two prior felony controlled substance convictions in the District of Columbia. The court then departed downward because it found that one of Brown’s convictions involved a small quantity of drugs.
