1Opinion of the Court
AINSWORTH, Circuit Judge:
Jose Elibardo Lerma was indicted and convicted of conspiracy to possess marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and using a communication facility to accomplish these offenses, each a violation of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 843(b), 846. Lerma appeals, arguing that certain evidentiary rulings, the insufficiency of the evidence and flaws in the indictment warrant reversal of his conviction. Finding no reversible error among these asserted defects, we affirm.
