   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-2607
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Arnold and Murphy, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Prior drug conviction was
   properly admitted under Rule 404(b) as the evidence was relevant;
   prosecutor did not engage in improper vouching for the government's
   witnesses; government gave defendant adequate notice under 21 U.S.C.
   Sec. 851 of its intention to seek an enhanced sentence; challenge to use of
   2002 drug conviction at sentencing rejected, as the conviction qualified as
   prior conviction for a felony drug sentence and could be used to support
   the imposition of mandatory minimum life sentence.
