021036P.pdf   10/31/2002  United States  v.  Jermaine Harris
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-1036
   Northern District of Iowa   
Criminal case - criminal law. District court did not abuse its discretion in admitting evidence concerning possession of firearms in drug prosecution; use of special interrogatory concerning drug quantity was not error; district court did not err in denying motion for new trial based on claims government's witnesses perjured themselves; evidence was sufficient to support drug convictions; claims of ineffective assistance of counsel were premature and should be raised in a Section 2255 habeas petition; court did not err in imposing two level enhancement for possession of a firearm as it was not clearly improbable that the gun was connected with the drug offense; dissent by Judge Heaney on the enhancement issue.
