Description
Linnell Casedric Hart pled guilty to possession of 17.0 grams of crack cocaine with intent to distribute, 21 U.S.C.A. § 841(a), (b)(1)(B) (West 1981 & Supp. 1995), and to use of a firearm in a crime of violence, 18 U.S.C.A. § 924(c) (West Supp. 1995). Although his sentencing guideline range for the drug offense was 46-57 months, Hart was sentenced to the mandatory minimum five-year sentence prescribed by § 841(b)(1)(B), and to a consecutive five-year sentence for the firearm conviction. Hart appeals his sentence, alleging that the district court did not recognize its authority to depart below the mandatory minimum sentence prescribed by § 841. We affirm.
