Opinion

DUFF, S.J.

On appeal from his jury trial convictions of two counts of distributing a controlled substance, Charles Michael Anderson contends the trial court erred (1) in admitting into evidence certificates of analysis noting him as a suspect and identifying Phencyclidine as a Schedule II drug, (2) in refusing to instruct the jury that the Commonwealth was required to prove he knew the substance he distributed was a controlled substance, and (3) in improperly sentencing him on his two convictions. Finding no merit in the assignments of error, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
