This is the second appeal by Norris-W. Jackson. In his first pass through this Court,
see United States v. Jackson,
Jackson was convicted by a jury of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846, possession of cocaine base in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), use or carriage of a firearm during and .in relation to a drug trafficking crime, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c), and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Jackson appealed his convictions and sentence. On appeal we reversed the § 924(c) conviction, affirmed the remaining three convictions, and remanded the case to the district court for resentencing.
On November 7, 1997, the district court resentenced Jackson. At the resentencing hearing, there were two basic issues for the district court’s consideration: whether to impose a two-level enhancement to the base offense level for possession of a firearm pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2Dl.l(b)(l); and whether to grant Jackson’s motion for a downward departure on the grounds that the career offender guidelines overstated his criminal history. The district court declined to impose the enhancement or depart downward.
*838 Jackson filed a timely notice of appeal on November 17, 1997, contending that: (1) he was denied effective assistance of trial counsel; and (2) he was denied his due process right to a fair sentencing. Both of these arguments lack merit.
Discussion
A. Ineffective Assistance of Trial Counsel
We first address Jackson’s arguments that he was denied effective assistance of trial counsel. Specifically, Jackson argues that his trial counsel was ineffective because: (1) they failed to object to the government’s motion in limine regarding the testimony of the confidential informant; and (2) they failed to properly question law enforcement personnel regarding statements made to them by Jackson.
As we previously noted, this is Jackson’s second appeal. On the first appeal, we reversed only the § 924(c) conviction and remanded to the district court for the limited purpose of resentencing on the three other affirmed convictions.
See Jackson,
If the opinion identifies a discrete, particular error that can be corrected on remand without the need for a redeter-mination of other issues, the district court is limited to correcting that error. A party cannot use the accident of a remand to raise in a second appeal an issue that he could just as well have raised in the first appeal because the remand did not affect it.

B. Alleged Due Process Violation at Resentencing
Jackson next contends that his due process rights were violated at the resentencing because he was not given sufficient time to review the presentence investigation report (the “PSI”) and the government’s sentencing memorandum. At sentencing, the district court must make a record that reflects that the defendant has had a realistic opportunity to read and discuss the PSI and to raise objections.
United States v. Rone,
Here, there was no due process violation; Jackson was afforded an opportunity to review the PSI and make objections prior to resentencing. The record shows that the PSI used in the resentencing was the same PSI used by the government at Jackson’s original sentencing on August 25, 1995, more than two years earlier. After Jackson’s own counsel explained to him *839 at the resentencing hearing that the government was using the same PSI that it had used at his original sentencing, Jackson acknowledged that he had had an opportunity to review it prior to his original sentencing.
Jackson also contends that the government violated 18 U.S.C. § 3552(d) because he was not given a copy of the PSI until the day prior to the resentencing. Section 3552(d) provides, in pertinent part:
Disclosure of presentence reports.— The court shall assure that a report filed pursuant to this section is disclosed to the defendant, the counsel for the defendant, and the attorney for the Government at least ten days prior to the date set for sentencing, unless this minimum period is waived by the defendant.
(Emphasis supplied). As we have already found, Jackson admitted at his resentenc-ing that he had an opportunity to review the PSI before his original sentencing. Thus, we find that the government more than satisfied the ten-day rule of § 3552(d).
While we acknowledge that the ten-day rule of § 3552(d) also applies to Jackson’s counsel, we find that the argument has been waived. A defendant may waive the ten-day rule by failing to assert that right at the appropriate time.
United States v. Blythe,
AFFIRMED.
