UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
KEVIN WILLIAMS,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:98-CR-166-1
--------------------
December 13, 2000
Before DAVIS, STEWART, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Kevin Williams appeals the sentence imposed by the district
court after a jury found him guilty on two counts of possessing a
controlled substance with intent to distribute in violation of 21
U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Citing Apprendi v. New Jersey, 120 S. Ct.
2348 (2000), he argues that the district court erred by holding
him responsible at sentencing for a drug quantity that was
neither charged in the indictment nor proved beyond a reasonable
doubt. Because Williams did not raise this type of objection in
the district court, we review for plain error. See United States
