United States First Circuit

A conviction for conspiracy and a substantive drug-trafficking charge is affirmed over meritless challenges to: 1) the sufficiency of the evidence underpinning one of the counts of conviction; 2) admission of evidence of discussions about a possible drug sale, which spanned a seven-month period; and 3) weapons and obstruction of justice sentence enhancements.
