1Opinion of the Court
STAHL, Circuit Judge.
After a jury convicted appellants Miguel Torres Rivera (“Torres Rivera”) and Alfonso Mena Robles (“Mena Robles”) of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846, they were sentenced to terms of imprisonment of 200 months and 170 months, respectively. On appeal, both defendants claim that the district court erroneously denied their motions for acquittal made under Fed.R.Crim.P. 29, and that their sentences contravened the Sentencing Guidelines. Finding no reversible error, we affirm the convictions and sentences.
