   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-1913
                          and No:  07-2031
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Colloton, Circuit Judge, and
   Erickson, District Judge]
   Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient to
   support defendant Brandon's conviction for conspiracy to distribute
   drugs; no error under either Rule 404(b) or Rule 403 in admitting post-
   arrest statement; district court took appropriate corrective action when a
   police witness made a prejudicial reference to a possible homicide, and a
   mistrial was not required; challenge to mandatory minimum life sentence
   under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 841(b)(1)(A) rejected; district court failed to
   perform the necessary sentencing calculations when it imposed sentence
   on Count V for defendant Brandon, and that count is remanded for
   resentencing on the existing record.
