U.S. v. METCALF

No. 89-1307.

898 F.2d 43 (1990)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Darrell Ray METCALF, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

March 29, 1990.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Walter M. Reaves, West, Tex. (court-appointed), for defendant-appellant.

LeRoy Morgan Jahn, W. Ray Jahn, Asst. U.S. Attys., Helen M. Eversberg, U.S. Atty., San Antonio, Tex., for plaintiff-appellee.

Before KING, GARWOOD and SMITH, Circuit Judges.


KING, Circuit Judge:

Darrell Ray Metcalf contests the district court's application of the Sentencing Guidelines. We hold that the district court correctly determined that two prior convictions are not "related" offenses and should be separately counted in the criminal history score. We also conclude that the district court did not err in concluding that "`crack' cocaine" is a "cocaine base" for purposes of calculating the offense level.
