United States Seventh Circuit

Conviction and sentence for conspiring to possess cocaine with intent to distribute are affirmed over defendant's contentions that: 1) the trial evidence was insufficient to support his conviction; 2) the district court erred in admitting testimony that he purchased drugs from one of the co-conspirators prior to the charged conspiracy; and 3) a guidelines sentencing enhancement for possession of a firearm by his co-conspirators was inappropriate.
