United States First Circuit

Conviction and sentencing of defendant for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana and for social security fraud are upheld where the admission of a co-conspirator's statements and handwritten notes implicating defendant were not inadmissible hearsay, but vacated where the court incorrectly declined to issue a final order of forfeiture because there is no evidence that a forfeiture order would deprive defendant of his livelihood such that it would be unconstitutional.
