1Opinion of the Court

RICHARD S. ARNOLD, Chief Judge.

Jeffrey Holt, John Perfetto, and Robert Ball appeal their convictions and sentences for conspiracy and drug-related offenses. We affirm the conspiracy and distribution convictions for all of the defendants and the sentences of Perfetto and Ball for these offenses. We remand to the District Court to vacate Holt’s and Perfetto’s convictions of continuing criminal enterprise. Finally, we vacate Holt’s sentence and remand for an evidentiary hearing on an obstruction-of-justice enhancement.
