THAPAR, Circuit Judge. Stanford Ray Coleman was resentenced for his third conviction for distributing drugs to small towns in Appalachia. He requested to be resentenced within the recommended Guidelines range. And he was. But he now appeals that sentence on four procedural grounds. Finding no error, we affirm his sentence, and we remand for consideration of a sentencing amendment.
