United States Fifth Circuit

A conviction and sentence for possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute is affirmed over claims that: 1) the district court erred when it denied his motion to suppress evidence of the cocaine and refused to instruct the jury a second time regarding the government's burden of proof; and 2) the sentence was unreasonable.
