1Opinion of the Court
REED, District Judge:
Rodrigo Pino-Noriega appeals his conviction for importation of marijuana and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 952, and 960. He claims that he was denied his right to testify in his own defense, that the district court improperly admitted lay opinion testimony as to whether his post-arrest statements “made sense,” and that the district court improperly allowed the prosecution to present testimony regarding his post-arrest silence. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
