United States v. Meyst
Opinion
Robert A. Meyst pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and cocaine base in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 (1994) and one count of money laundering in violation of 19 U.S.C. § 1956(h) (1994). On appeal, Meyst argues that the rule announced in Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), renders 21 U.S.C.A. § 841 (West 1999 & Supp. 2001) unconstitutional on its face. We reject this argument and affirm his convictions and sentence. See United States v. Cernobyl, 255 F.3d 1215, 1219-1220 (10th Cir. 2001); United States v. Martinez, 253 F.3d 251, 256 n. 6 (6th Cir. 2001); United States v. Brough, 243 F.3d 1078, 1079-80 (7th Cir. 2001); United States v. Slaughter, 238 F.3d 580, 581 (5th Cir. 2000), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 121 S.Ct. 2015, 149 L.Ed.2d 1015 (2001) (No. 00-9519). See also United States v. Promise, 255 F.3d 150, 156-57 (4th Cir. 2001) (en banc). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court *113 and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED.
