OPINION
WILLIAMS, Chief Justice.
In this appeal, the defendant, Brian E. Reis (Reis), asks this Court to set aside his 1999 conviction of conspiracy to possess more than five kilograms of marijuana. The defendant argues that the trial justice erred in (1) admitting evidence of previous similar drug transactions between Reis and his alleged coconspirator, and (2) denying his motion for judgment of acquittal on the conspiracy charge. 1 We disagree and affirm the judgment of the Superior Court. The facts pertinent to this appeal are as follows.
