   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-1892
   District of Nebraska   
   [PUBLISHED][Bye, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Wollman, Circuit Judge]
   Criminal case - criminal law. Evidence was sufficient to support drug
   convictions; district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting expert
   testimony concerning swab evidence tending to disprove that casual
   contact with items would generate detectable amounts of cocaine on a
   person's hands; limits on defendant's cross-examination as to whether a
   witness would lie were proper as the proposed questions were
   impermissible under Federal Rules of Evidence 404 and 608; sentencing
   with the Guidelines based on the crack-powder disparity is not inherently
   unreasonable.
