'Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge HENDERSON.

KAREN LECRAFT HENDERSON, Circuit Judge:

Sherman Mitchell (Mitchell) was convicted by jury of multiple counts of drug crimes resulting from his role in a .phency-clidine (PCP) distribution ring. Mitchell challenges his convictions on several grounds, including, inter alia, the. government’s purported failure to properly authenticate and demonstrate chain of custody for PCP samples used to establish his guilt and the district court’s alleged error in admitting summary witness evidence. We reject his challenges and affirm his convictions.
