United States v. Gonzalez-Ramirez

HOWARD, Circuit Judge.

Appellant Fernando Gonzalez-Ramirez (“Gonzalez”) was convicted of conspiring to distribute and aiding and abetting the distribution of cocaine. He was sentenced to twenty years in prison. On appeal, Gonzalez claims that the district court erred in denying his pre-trial motion for a competency hearing and in admitting certain evidence.
