   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-2940
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Hansen, Circuit Judge, and
   Bogue, District Judge]
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Evidence was sufficient to support
   doctor's conviction for illegal distribution of controlled substances; no
   error in admitting evidence under Rule 404(b) of other prescriptions not
   charged in the indictment; jury instructions on consideration of 404(b)
   evidence fairly and adequately submitted the issue; no error in giving a
   willful blindness instruction; no error in admitting testimony from the
   government's expert on the appropriate standard of care to be used in
   prescribing pain and anxiety drugs; prosecutor's closing arguments, while
   improper, did not require reversal as they did not prejudicially affect any
   substantial right or deprive defendant of a fair trial; two brief references
   to defendant's disciplinary proceedings before the Missouri licensing
   agency did not require a mistrial.
