Description
MERRITT, Chief Judge. Defendant William Dolt III appeals his sentence imposed upon his plea of guilty to possession with intent to distribute and distribution of cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). He raises a single issue on appeal: whether the district court erred when it sentenced him as a career offender pursuant to the United States Sentencing Guidelines. Specifically, he argues that the court erroneously relied upon a prior Florida "solicitation" to traffic in cocaine conviction as a predicate offense for career offender purposes. We agree with the defendant that Florida's solicitation law is not a predicate offense under the career offender provision of the Guidelines and therefore vacate defendant's sentence and remand for resentencing.
