Conviction for drug crimes is affirmed where defense counsel's suppression arguments at the sentencing hearing were not sufficiently developed to preserve the issues defendant raised in the appeal, and defendant has therefore forfeited his right to appeal these issues under Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure rule 12(e).
