United States v. Jose Jaime Lopez
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

1Opinion of the CourtSt. Eve, Circuit Judge
A jury convicted Jose Jaime Lopez of several drug-related offenses and the district court sentenced him to life in prison. In this direct appeal, Lopez challenges the denial of his motion to suppress, the sufficiency of the evidence on his conviction for attempting to possess with the intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine, and his sentence of life in prison. We affirm both Lopez's conviction and sentence, though we again remind district courts and the government to ensure compliance with the requirements of 21 U.S.C. § 851 .
