United States v. Steven Roshan Skillern and Clifton Andre Skillern
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
PATRICK E. HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge:
Steven and Clifton Skillern, brothers, appeal convictions for conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute. Clifton Skillern argues that there was insufficient evidence to convict him of conspiracy and that the district court erred in calculating his sentence. Clifton and Steven both argue that the district court erred by admitting a drug ledger into evidence. Finally, Steven Skillern argues that the district court erred in overruling Steven’s motion to suppress evidence recovered from the Navasota police's inventory search of an impounded car.
