1Opinion of the Court
HODGES, District Judge:
This case involved an unusual trial. So unusual, according to Rogelio Galvan Chavez, that the district court’s refusal to grant his motion for a severance denied his right to a fair trial. He also challenges the refusal of the district court to grant a mistrial, the sufficiency of the evidence as to his guilt, and the reasonableness of his sentence. The other Appellants do not raise any issues concerning their guilt, but appeal their sentences. After careful review, we affirm the district court in all respects. 1
