United States Ninth Circuit

In an appeal of conviction for possession with intent to distribute and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, judgment is affirmed, where: 1) the defendant did not show that he was prejudiced by any failure to administer oaths to trial testimony interpreters; 2) the district court did not plainly err in admitting testimony recounting the present sense impressions of nontestifying law enforcement agents; 3) a rational fact-finder could conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that the substance the defendant meant to sell was methamphetamine in the requisite amount; and 4) there was no cumulative error warranting reversal.
