   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-2989
                          and No:  05-3001
   Southern District of Iowa   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Bowman and Smith, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. District court did not abuse its discretion
   in refusing defendant's requests for instructions on multiple conspiracies
   and his theory that he was an independent contractor rather than a
   conspirator; however the tax laws might describe defendant's relationship
   with the leader of the conspiracy, the evidence was more than sufficient
   to show he joined a conspiracy to distribute ecstasy.
