Text: We generally review the legality of a criminal sentence de novo. See United States v. Tamayo, 80 1 Appellants also challenge the amount of drugs the district court attributed to them and the denial of their requests for minor-role reductions. Appellants Sean and Annette Gerrow challenge the district court's imposition of a firearm enhancement. Appellants Annette Gerrow and Forrester claim the district court improperly admitted into evidence the testimony of a financially-motivated Government informant, refused to sever the trial, admitted into evidence the statements of non-testifying co-defendants, and failed to sanction the Government for alleged discovery violations. Appellant Forrester challenges the district court's failure to directly offer him an opportunity to allocute at sentencing, the sufficiency of the evidence to support his § 924 conviction, and the accuracy of the district court's jury instructions regarding flight. Appellant Sean Gerrow challenges the district court's determination of his criminal history category. We affirm these issues pursuant to 11th Cir. R. 36-1. F.3d 1514, 1518 (11th Cir.1996). A district court's failure to address a defendant personally at sentencing is reviewed for plain error, however, where the defendant failed to make a timely objection. See id. at 1521. The Gerrows did not challenge the constitutionality of the district court's finding of drug quantity, nor did they challenge the omission of the quantity from the indictment. The Apprendi claim is therefore reviewed for plain error. See United States v. Swatzie, 228 F.3d 1278, 1281-82 (11th Cir.2000).
