Irving v. United States
District of Columbia Court of Appeals
1Opinion of the Court
RUIZ, Associate Judge:
Appellants Terrence Pleasant and James Irving each appeal from convictions of conspiracy to commit murder and obstruction of justice. Irving challenges several evidentia-ry rulings and the sufficiency of the evidence to support the jury’s verdict.

Finding no error, we affirm.
