United States Sixth Circuit

Sentence and conviction of defendant for drug and firearm related crimes are affirmed where: 1) defendant's claim that district court erred by excluding him from the jury instruction conference is rejected; 2) allowing testimony about the details of co-defendant's plea agreement was not error; 3) defendant's sentence was not unconstitutional; 4) even if there was a Federal Criminal Rule 11 violation, defendant has not shown actual prejudice from such violation; 5) any challenge to the district court's holding that there was probable cause has been waived; and 6) there was sufficient evidence to support defendant's conviction.
