1Opinion of the Court
GARWOOD, Circuit Judge:
Defendant-appellant Ralph Hernandez (Hernandez) appeals his conviction, following a jury trial, of one count of conspiracy to distribute marihuana and four counts of possession of marihuana with intent to distribute. He challenges the sufficiency of the evidence, complains of the denial of his request for a severance, claims a fatal variance between the indictment and the evidence, and contends that a witness was improperly allowed to assert her privilege against self-incrimination. He also challenges his sentence. We affirm.
