Heading: Mr. Osborne’s Sentence

Text: The district court did not commit plain error under Apprendi . Mr. Osborne’s sentence did not exceed the statutory maximum of the most lenient - 11 - provision applicable to marijuana possession offenses: § 841(b)(1)(D). Under § 841(b)(1)(D), which applies to offenses involving less than 50 kilograms of marijuana, Mr. Osborne could have received 10 years imprisonment and 4 years of supervised release because he had previously been convicted of a felony drug offense. III R. at 20. Therefore, the district court’s failure to submit the quantity of marijuana as an element of Mr. Osborne’s offense to the jury was not error because his sentence of 97 months imprisonment and 4 years of supervised release did not exceed the lowest possible statutory maximum. United States v. Wilson , 244 F.3d 1208, 1215 n.4 (10th Cir. 2001).
