BAILEY BROWN, Senior Circuit Judge.

Appellants Genell Brown (“Brown”), La-Donna Thornton (“Thornton”), and Charles Straughter (“Straughter”) were indicted by a federal grand jury for offenses related to a conspiracy to distribute cocaine. The jury trial resulted in conviction of the three defendants. They now appeal their judgments of conviction, seeking reversals. Alternatively, Straughter urges this court to issue an order mandating a change in his sentence. For the following reasons, we affirm all convictions and sentences.
