1Opinion of the Court

GARWOOD, Circuit Judge:

Defendant-appellant Terry Ann Deisch (Deisch) appeals her conviction and'five year sentence for simple possession of cocaine base in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 844. Deisch asserts that the district court erred in (1) submitting the section 844 violation as a lesser included offense at all; (2) the wording of the charge on the section 844 offense; and (3) allowing the government to introduce in evidence an untimely disclosed statement. We reverse in part, affirm in part, and remand for resentencing.
