1Opinion of the Court
KING, Circuit Judge:
James W. Wade appeals from his conviction and sentence for nine drug related offenses. 1 The district court sentenced him to 240 months in prison and five years of supervised release. He appeals on three grounds: (1) that the district court erred in not granting a new trial due to the alleged bias of the trial judge; (2) that the prosecution made improper comments during closing arguments; and (3) that the district judge improperly granted an upward departure under the United States Sentencing Guidelines (Guidelines). For the reasons set out below, we affirm.
