1Opinion of the Court
BENTON, Circuit Judge.
Lorenzo Dontae Roundtree was convicted of distributing heroin resulting in the death of another person, and sentenced to fife in prison, 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(C). He appeals, arguing that the evidence of his prior conviction should not have been admitted; the government improperly vouched for its witnesses, and failed to give notice of sentencing enhancement pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 851; and the sentencing enhancement was based on an inaccurate prior felony. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 18 U.S.C. § 3742, this court affirms.
