1Opinion of the Court
SEYMOUR, Circuit Judge.
After a jury trial, defendant Barbara Lynn Baggett was found guilty of simple possession of heroin under 21 U.S.C. § 844(a) (1982 & Supp. V 1987), and of three counts of using a telephone to facilitate the distribution of heroin under 21 U.S.C. § 843(b) (1982). Defendant argues that there is insufficient evidence to support the jury’s verdict on the possession count, and that section 843(b) does not apply to individuals who use the telephone to arrange drug purchases for their own personal use. We agree and we therefore reverse the conviction.
