Dianne Smothers, OFFICE OF THE FEDERAL PUBLIC UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS DEFENDER, Memphis, Tennessee, for Appellant. Victor L. Ivy, ASSISTANT UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Jackson, FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT Tennessee, for Appellee. _________________ _________________ UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , X Plaintiff-Appellee, - OPINION - _________________ - No. 01-6538 v. - DAVID M. LAWSON, District Judge. The United States > Sentencing Commission has prescribed a methodology that , trial courts must use to determine a sentencing range in a CHRISTOPHER GILL, - Defendant-Appellant. - criminal case. A key ingredient of the sentencing formula in drug cases is the quantity of a controlled substance for which N a convicted defendant will be held accountable. A defendant Appeal from the United States District Court is responsible for all drug quantities that are included within for the Western District of Tennessee at Jackson. the scope of his “relevant conduct,” as that term is defined by No. 01-10019—James D. Todd, Chief District Judge. the United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual. In this case, Christopher Gill, the defendant, contends that his sentence for Argued: March 12, 2003 possession with intent to distribute cocaine was too severe because the district court included in its calculation of drug Decided and Filed: October 31, 2003 quantity, cocaine that Gill possessed only for personal use. We agree with this argument, for reasons explained in detail Before: MOORE and CLAY, Circuit Judges; LAWSON, below, and therefore we vacate Gill’s sentence and remand District Judge.* for a new sentencing hearing. _________________ I. COUNSEL On April 16, 2001, Gill was indicted on three counts by a grand jury for the United States District Court for the Western ARGUED: April R. Goode, OFFICE OF THE FEDERAL District of Tennessee, sitting in Jackson. Count one charged PUBLIC DEFENDER, Memphis, Tennessee, for Appellant. the defendant with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, contrary to21 U.S.C. § 841

All of these U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1(a), and concluded that the applicable offenses were alleged to have been committed on sentence range, given the defendant’s placement in criminal December 20, 2000. history category IV, was 21 to 27 months. See id. Ch. 5, Pt. A (sentencing table). The defendant pleaded guilty to counts one and two on August 17, 2001, and the government agreed to dismiss the As previously stated, the defendant filed timely objections remaining count. After receiving the presentence report, the to the presentence report, contending that he should be held defendant objected to the recommendation that he be accountable only for 6.8 grams of cocaine, the amount in his sentenced to 81 months in custody. Although he did not possession when he was arrested. Gill reasoned that he was dispute the initial 60 months of that term, which stemmed not charged with conspiracy or with possession over a range from his conviction on count two, the defendant alleged that of dates; instead the offense of conviction, according to the the recommended 21-month sentence was based on an indictment, was that Gill possessed the cocaine that he erroneous conclusion that he intended to distribute 35.4375 intended to distribute on a specific date. That drug amount grams of cocaine. The basis for the probation officer’s called for a base offense level of 12, and a net offense level of reasoning was as follows: 10, yielding a sentence range of 15 to 21 months in custody. Mr. Gill stated to police that he had bought eight grams At sentencing, the government urged adoption of the of powder cocaine for personal use during the weekend presentence report and read the report’s summary of the preceding his arrest on the instant offense, and the defendant’s statements into the record. No other evidence electronic scales he possessed were used for his own was offered concerning the amount of cocaine possessed by quality control purposes to avoid getting shorted in his the defendant. In response to the district court’s query as to drug transactions. However, in a written statement made the government’s position on how to account for the drugs the to officers of the Jackson Police Department on defendant likely possessed for personal use, the Assistant March 30, 2001, Christopher J. Gill stated that for the United States Attorney stated that he had not researched the five weeks preceding his arrest on the instant offense, he issue, he had no witnesses available to inform the court of the would buy approximately one-quarter ounce of “soft” “customary practice” on the street, and he found it difficult to (powdered cocaine) and would sell out of that quantity to provide a definitive answer. J.A. at 28-29. Defense counsel make a profit. also confessed that she knew of no authority on how such adjustments could be made, but relied on the defendant’s J.A. at 40. Although the calculations leading to the 35.4375- insistence that he had purchased eight grams the week before gram figure are not provided in the report, the government his arrest and had about six grams remaining at the time of his quite sensibly suggests that the probation officer simply arrest. Since the defendant was found in possession of 6.8 multiplied the quarter-ounce figure by five, one for each grams, defense counsel argued that use of the full eight-gram week, and then converted 1.25 ounces to the figure of 35.4375 figure would be inaccurate and inappropriate. J.A. at 30. grams. The probation officer then referred to U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(c)(13), which establishes a base offense level of 14 The district court also stated that it had found no in cases where the defendant is accountable for 25 to 50 controlling authority on the issue, but concluded “the law grams of cocaine powder.

The district court proceeded to adopt the presentence with intent to distribute a controlled substance under 21 report recommendation, calculated the appropriate guideline U.S.C. § 841(a), which required the sentencing court to refer range on count one to be 21 to 27 months, and then sentenced to U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1 to obtain the base offense level.

When personal use should be included in the tally when establishing calculating the drug quantities attributable to a defendant as the base offense level for a distribution- or trafficking-type relevant conduct under the Sentencing Guidelines, the district crime under Section 2D1.1, the sentencing court must follow court’s findings must be supported by a preponderance of the the path laid out in the Guidelines Manual to the definition of evidence.

When the amount of drugs is uncertain, the Sentencing Commission states that the base offense level in district court must “err on the side of caution” and hold the cases of this sort is determined “on the basis of . . . all acts defendant accountable only for that amount that is more likely and omissions committed, aided, abetted, counseled, than not attributable to the defendant.

In addition, “with respect to convicted of distribution and possession with intent to offenses of a character for which § 3D1.2(d) would require distribute cocaine base, argued that 2.15 grams of 6.32 grams grouping of multiple counts,” relevant conduct includes “all of cocaine base found when he was searched were for purely acts and omissions . . . that were part of the same course of personal use.

We believe that Page is inapplicable because of the As noted above, the offense of conviction in this case is different considerations that arise when the defendant has possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, been convicted of conspiracy to distribute drugs. As we a crime separate and distinct from simple possession. The explained in that case, the key factor in determining the defendant insists that it is axiomatic that drug quantities quantity of drugs for which an individual conspirator will be possessed for personal use were not possessed for the purpose held accountable at sentencing is foreseeability. Page, 232 of later distribution and therefore could not have been part of F.3d at 541-42. Thus, adopting the reasoning of the First the offense of conviction. The government counters that the Circuit in United States v. Innamorati,996 F.2d 456

In this case, the defendant was not reached the same result in a drug conspiracy case in United charged with or convicted of conspiracy, nor was his States v. Page,232 F.3d 536

The record in this case presents the claim that the defendant was involved in but two drug crimes: possession We do not agree with the government’s reading of Thomas, with intent to distribute, for which he was charged, and or the notion that it resolves the issue presented in this case in simple possession, which was uncharged criminal conduct. No. 01-6538 United States v. Gill 9 10 United States v. Gill No. 01-6538 Uncharged conduct may be considered in calculating the conviction. Citing Section 2D1.1, the court first observed that sentencing range under the Sentencing Guidelines only if the the base offense level for a drug offense is based entirely on conduct is “relevant.” See United States v. Hill, 79 F.3d the quantity of drugs, and that the government has the burden 1477, 1481 (6th Cir.), cert. denied,519 U.S. 858
(1996). to prove this amount by a preponderance of the evidence, as Returning to the Sentencing Guidelines Manual’s language – we likewise have held. See United States v. Owusu, 199 F.3d which we hesitate to describe as “plain,” although it is 329, 344 (6th Cir. 2000). Then, referring to Section unequivocal – the defendant’s possession of drugs for 1B1.3(a)(2), the court declared that “[d]rugs possessed for personal use cannot be considered an “act[] . . . that occurred mere personal use are not relevant to the crime of possession during the commission of the offense of conviction, in with intent to distribute because they are not ‘part of the same preparation for that offense, or in the course of attempting to course of conduct’ or ‘common scheme’ as drugs intended for avoid detection or responsibility for that offense” under distribution.” Kipp, 10 F.3d at 1465-66. The court concluded Section 1B1.3(a)(1), since the offense of conviction required that sentencing courts calculating a base offense level using an intent to distribute to accompany the act of drug possession Section 2D1.1(c) “must make a factual finding as to the under21 U.S.C. § 841
(a). See United States v. Bennett, 291 quantity of drugs possessed for distribution and cannot F.3d 888, 895 (6th Cir. 2002). Possessing drugs for personal include any amount possessed strictly for personal use.”Id.
use was not part of or connected to the commission of, at 1466. preparation for, or concealment of the distribution-type offense. Simple possession is not “relevant” under Section Although the Ninth Circuit relied on a subsection of the 1B1.3(a)(2), as “part of the same course of conduct or relevant conduct provision that we find inapplicable, we common scheme or plan,” because that section applies only nonetheless agree with the alternate ground put forth for if the two offenses can be grouped under Section 3D1.2(d). excluding personal use drugs from the total in such cases: See Hill, 79 F.3d at 1482. Simple possession is not one of the crimes listed in this grouping rule that triggers the application [F]ailure to distinguish the amount possessed for of that relevant conduct section. personal use from the amount possessed for distribution contravenes a fundamental principle of the Sentencing We hold, therefore, that simple possession of illegal drugs Guidelines – proportionality in sentencing – because it for personal use is not conduct that is “relevant” to the charge would result in sentencing a drug user who possessed 50 of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance grams for personal use and gave one gram away more for the purpose of determining a sentence range under the harshly than a drug dealer who possessed 49 grams for Sentencing Guidelines. Amounts possessed for personal distribution. consumption should not be included when calculating the amount of drugs to enter into the drug quantity table in Ibid. See also United States v. Rodriguez-Sanchez, 23 F.3d U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(c). 1488, 1496 (9th Cir. 1994) (noting that “§ 841(a)(1) does not criminalize mere possession of drugs, only possession with Other circuits have reached the same conclusion, albeit by intent to distribute. . . .

He maintains that his for possession with intent to distribute marijuana because the acquisition of cocaine over the previous five weeks, from trial court may have included cocaine possessed for personal which he sold a portion, according to his statement, cannot be consumption in its guideline calculation. The Wyss court also counted in the total drug quantity for the purpose of U.S.S.G. made reference to Section 1B1.3(a)(2), noting that under the § 2D1.1(c). This argument must be rejected. Certain Sentencing Guidelines, an uncharged drug offense is not uncharged conduct may be considered as “relevant conduct” relevant unless it is part of the same course of conduct or under the Sentencing Guidelines.

Referring to the grouping rule, Section “conduct that is not formally charged or is not an element of 3D1.2(d), the court observed that “[p]ossession of illegal the offense of conviction may enter into the determination of drugs for personal use cannot be grouped with other the applicable Guideline sentencing range”).

We, therefore, do not view the Eleventh acquiring a quantity of cocaine to sell each week for five Circuit decision as convincing precedent and we join the other weeks could constitute “part of a single episode, spree, or circuits that have refused to follow it. See Fraser, 243 F.3d ongoing series of offenses.” U.S.S.G. § 1B1.3, comment. at 475 n.4 (noting that the conviction for conspiracy to (n.9(B)). The portion of cocaine found to be obtained for distribute “may have been the real rationale” for the Eleventh later distribution, therefore, properly is included in the Circuit’s decision); Wyss,147 F.3d at 632
(stating that quantity for which the defendant should be accountable under Antonietti, in rejecting Kipp, “overlooked” the distinction Section 2D1.1(c). between conspiracy and possession with intent to distribute). The sentencing court in this case included cocaine that the Gill also contends that the relevant conduct inquiry must be defendant possessed for personal use in the total drug quantity confined to his activity that took place on December 20, 2000, when it arrived at a base offense level of 14 under U.S.S.G. because he was charged with possession with intent to § 2D1.1(c)(13). This was error. However, the government No. 01-6538 United States v. Gill 13 14 United States v. Gill No. 01-6538 insists that the district court’s error was harmless because the The defendant asserted in his statement that he used about sentence of 21 months is admittedly within both of the two grams of the eight grams of cocaine that he had competing guideline ranges in this case. Harmless error is not purchased most recently. Analysis showed that 6.8 grams an inevitable conclusion under these circumstances. Rather, remained of that eight grams. Given that approximately one- in determining whether a remand is required, “a court of half of the week had passed, and that 1.2 grams thus can be appeals must decide whether the district court would have assumed to be the defendant’s average usage for that period, imposed the same sentence had it not relied upon the invalid that would result in a minimum discount, over five weeks, of factor or factors.” Williams v.

Nonetheless, because the When the base offense level is reduced by two levels for lower court did not properly apply the relevant Sentencing acceptance of responsibility, the question is whether, under Guidelines provisions, the case must be remanded for the facts in the present record, the sentencing range could be resentencing on the present record, since “[t]he government moved from a net level 12, which yields a 21-to-27-month was entitled to only one opportunity to present evidence on sentence range (given the defendant’s criminal history this issue.” Wyss,147 F.3d at 633
