1DissentRipple, Circuit Judge
In my view, the appellant has demonstrated an adequate nexus between his 1984 conviction and the 1989 sentence. The trial judge’s remarks make it plain that the 1984 conviction played a major role in the determination that' the defendant was dealing in drugs and therefore deserved to be punished as a drug dealer.
Accordingly, I respectfully dissent.
