PART A
The Governments' first witness at Bean's sentencing were the DEA Task Force Officer Tony Silva. He testifies that in this debriefing Luiz had hold him about four seperate marijuana "grows" in which Luiz had participated. The first was in 1986 In Tress, Texas: this "grow" produced 700 marijuana plants. The second was in 1987 in the Tonto wilderness; and it produced approximatly 1500 marijuana plants. The third "grow" was in 1988 in Sies Colorado and they produced approximately 900 marijuana plants.
The final "grow" was in 1991, also at the Sies site. Before the plants in this grow had been harveted, a Colorado State Police aircraft was spotted doing a "flyover" of the property. This prompted Luiz to destroy the crop, only fifty-two plants were seized. As they were seized the officers noted that two or three plants were in a single grow site.
PART B
The trial court sentenced smith well within the statutory limits.Therefore, the sentence is legal.

His section2255Motion were his first and only attempt to challenge his sentence. Any objections to the sentence report as submitted were clearly waived by Smith. The defendant have the responsibility to advise the Court of any claimed errors in the sentence report. His failure to voice any objections waive any issue not properly presented. it has been long held by this court that"Section2255is not available to test the legality of matters which should have been raised on appeal." Unless good cause can be shown why a defendant did not appeal or raise a particular issue on appeal, the defendant is barred from raising that issue in a section2255Motion
