1Per curiam
Carlos Portillo-Quezada appeals his jury convictions arising from his leadership of a methamphetamine distribution ring in Kansas City, Kansas. Portillo-Quezada claims the trial court erred in (1) allowing him to appear at voir dire with two co-defendants who were wearing prison clothing; (2) failing to grant a mistrial when the prosecutor suggested at voir dire that his co-defendants looked like drug dealers; (3) allowing the government to present evidence of an uncharged murder on the grounds it was connected to the drug conspiracy; and (4) imposing an unreasonable sentence.
