UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. Tony WASHINGTON, a/k/a Antonio Wallace, Defendant - Appellant.
Tony Washington appeals his conviction for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846, 860 (2012). Washington argues that the district court erroneously admitted expert testimony that was inadequately disclosed pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 16(a)(1)(G), violating his constitutional right to a fair trial. We have reviewed the record and conclude that the Government timely and adequately disclosed the requisite details of the challenged expert testimony. Furthermore, Washington has not established that he was prejudiced by the alleged inadequacy. See United States v. Smith, 701 F.3d 1002, 1008 (4th Cir. 2012). Accordingly, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion, see United States v. Fletcher, 74 F.3d 49, 54 (4th Cir. 1996) (stating standard of review), and we affirm the district court’s criminal judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
PER CURIAM:
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
