1Opinion of the Court
BAUER, Circuit Judge.
Sonny Madden, Bill Edwards, Reggie Fitzgerald, and Michael Schmiz were each convicted of conspiring to distribute cocaine and of using firearms in connection with a narcotics trafficking offense. Madden, Edwards, and Fitzgerald were also convicted for their attempts to impede the federal investigation of their activities. They each appeal their convictions, and Fitzgerald appeals his sentence. We find no basis for disturbing the decision of the trial court, and therefore, we affirm, in all respects, all the convictions as well as Fitzgerald’s sentence.
