   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1942
                          and No:  09-2036
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Bye, Circuit Judges, and
   Goldberg, International Trade Court]
   Criminal Case - conviction and sentence. Sufficient evidence was
   presented to support that appellants aided and abetted each other in
   charge of possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine. District
   court did not clearly err in denying Batson challenge, as government
   offered a nondiscriminatory explanation for strikes of two African-
   Americans. District court did not abuse its discretion in rejecting the
   "two conclusions" language in jury instructions. District court's action
   in imposing Lewis's sentence were procedurally reasonable and did not
   abuse its discretion in rejecting downward variance.
