How later courts describe this case

  • Apprendi applies only to cases in which the sentence exceeds the statutory maximum, not to cases in which a sentence is enhanced within the statutory range based on a finding of drug quantity
  • “Conviction of trafficking in a large amount of drugs ... makes it unlikely that defendant would have been placed in a minimum-security facility [even if he were a citizen.]”
