Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
FLAUM, Circuit Judge.
Matthew Gootee was convicted by a jury of three counts of knowingly distributing a quantity of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). A primary government witness was confidential informant (Cl) Gregory Bellamy, to whom Gootee sold LSD. Gootee appeals the district court’s exclusion of certain testimony at trial that Gootee claims supported his defense of entrapment and served to impeach Bellamy. Gootee also appeals the district court’s refusal to hold an evidentiary hearing on his motion for a new trial. We affirm.
