1Opinion of the Court
RICHARD S. ARNOLD, Chief Judge.
Jerry Lee Cunningham was convicted of drug and weapons charges after a jury trial. He appeals his conviction on four principal grounds: illegal search and seizure, violation of his right to counsel, failure of the District Court to conduct a hearing to examine whether improper jury contact occurred, and improper admission of his prior record in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Old Chief v. United States, — U.S. -, 117 S.Ct. 644, 136 L.Ed.2d 574 (1997). We affirm the convictions. There was an Old Chief error, but we think it was harmless.
