COX, Circuit Judge, specially
concurring:
In addressing Appellant’s first issue on this appeal, the court holds that the Appel*1504lant waived the right to object to the sentencing court’s failure to make a finding regarding the quantity of drugs with which he was chargeable. This waiver occurred, the court holds, when Appellant failed to reassert the objection after he was given a probationary sentence. This rule seems harsh. The quantity of drugs involved had no effect whatever on the probationary sentence the court had imposed. It is clear, however, that Appellant waived the objection at the time he was sentenced following revocation of his probation. I therefore concur in the result as to this issue. I would save for another day a decision relative to whether one in the position of this Appellant irrevocably waived the objection at the initial sentencing.
I join the part of the court’s opinion addressing Appellant’s second issue on this appeal.
