   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-3422
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Riley and Smith, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal Case - conviction. District court did not err in denying motion
   for judgment of acquittal, as there was sufficient evidence to support
   conviction for conspiracy to manufacture and distribute crack cocaine and
   to distribute powder cocaine. District court did not abuse its discretion
   in denying motion for new trial, as El Herman declined to seek a mistrial
   after prejudicial statement was made and could not expect a new trial
   after jury returned guilty verdict.
