1Opinion of the Court
TACHA, Circuit Judge.
Michael Curtis Keys appeals his conviction and sentence for knowingly possessing a weapon while an inmate of a federal correctional institution in violation of 18 U.S.C. section 1791(a)(2). Keys contends that the district court erred by: (1) failing to exclude evidence of his prison gang membership; (2) permitting the testimony of two government witnesses to be reread during jury deliberations; (3) adding two levels to his base offense level for obstruction of justice; and (4) departing upward from the Sentencing Guidelines due to his prison disciplinary record. We affirm.
