United States v. Burbage

Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit

Decided April 27, 2004No. 03-2184PublishedCited by 28 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

HARTZ, Circuit Judge.

Defendant Knowlington Ottoway Bur-bage appeals Ms conviction for possessing more than 500 grams of cocaine with intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(B). He contends that (1) the district court improperly denied his motion to suppress the cocaine, which was found during the search of a backpack he denied owning; and (2) he should be resentenced because the district court made improper comments to the jury after it returned its verdict. Exercising jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, we affirm the decision of the district court.
