Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
BREYER, Chief Judge.
Mushtaq Malik appeals his convictions for conspiring to import, and importing, heroin. 21 U.S.C. §§ 952(a), 963; 18 U.S.C. § 2. He makes several evidence-related claims, the most important of which concerns limitations the trial judge imposed on Malik’s counsel’s efforts to impeach a key witness through cross-examination about the witness’s past activities involving the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Jordanian government, and the FBI. After reading the entire record, we conclude that all Malik’s claims are without legal merit, and we affirm the convictions.
