1Opinion of the Court
BYE, Circuit Judge.
A jury found Jerry Garcia guilty of one count of conspiracy to distribute, and one count of aiding and abetting the distribution of, in excess of fifty grams of methamphetamine in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A) and 846. The district court 1 sentenced him to the minimum sentence prescribed by statute, 120 months imprisonment. Garcia appeals, arguing there was insufficient evidence to support the verdict and challenging his sentence as an unconstitutional violation of the Eighth Amendment. We affirm.
