Case Number: 
Nos. 09-2652 & 09-3011 Cons.
Decision Date: 
September 2, 2010
Federal District: 
S.D. Ind., Indianapolis Div.
Holding: 
Affirmed and vacated in part
Record contained sufficient evidence to support defendant’s conviction on charge of conducting criminal enterprise involving sale of drugs where record showed that defendant controlled or managed more than five individuals with respect to his methamphetamine operation. Moreover, Dist. Ct. did not err in admitting out-of-court statements identifying defendant as drug source where said individuals qualified as co-conspirators who assisted defendant in preparation and delivery of drugs, and where statements were made in furtherance of conspiracy.
