1Opinion of the Court

MONTGOMERY, District Judge.

Donald E. McCracken, II and Donald E. McCracken, III, appeal their convictions and sentences on drug charges. Both defendants challenge the sufficiency of the evidence to support their convictions and the admission into evidence of statements made by Donald E. McCracken, II. Defendants also contest the district court’s 2 application of the two-level enhancement for possession of firearms in connection with a drug offense pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2Dl.l(b)(l). Upon review, we affirm the convictions and the sentences. .
