1Opinion of the Court
*854BOWNES, Circuit Judge.
Defendant-appellant Frederick Latham, Jr. appeals his guilty verdict stemming from cocaine related charges. He claims that: (i) his constitutional right to be present at his own trial was violated; (ii) the court’s instruction regarding possession with intent to distribute cocaine was plain error; and (iii) the government failed to disclose evidence favorable to him. We reverse the conviction on the count of possession with intent to distribute cocaine, and remand for a new trial on the count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine.
