United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 00-1004 ___________ United States of America, * * Appellee, * Appeal from the United States * District Court for the v. * District of Nebraska. * Sheldon H. Thomas, * [UNPUBLISHED] * Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: May 24, 2000 Filed: May 30, 2000 ___________ Before McMILLIAN, LOKEN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. Sheldon Thomas appeals the 121-month sentence imposed by the district court1 after he pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846. Thomas raises one issue on appeal, that his sentence is excessive because the sentencing disparity between cocaine base and powder cocaine lacks a rational basis. However, this court has repeatedly rejected that contention and as a panel we are not free to revisit the issue. See, e.g., United States v. Clary,
34 F.3d 709, 1 The HONORABLE JOSEPH H. BATAILLON, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska. 712 (8th Cir. 1994) (collecting cases), cert. denied, 513 U .S. 1182 (1995). Accordingly, we affirm. A true copy. Attest: CLERK, U. S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT. -2-
