   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Wollman and Shepherd, Circuit
   Judges]
   Criminal Cases - conviction. Based on confidential informant's track
   record and corroboration of significant aspects of the tip, officers
   reasonably inferred that defendants were attempting to engage in illicit
   drug transaction and accordingly district court did not err in denying
   motion to suppress. Sufficient evidence was presented to support
   conspiracy conviction. District court did not abuse its discretion in
   refusing jury instruction on the distinction between conspiracy to
   distribute and simple buyer/seller transaction. District court did not abuse
   its discretion in admitting into evidence photograph of cash and drugs
   seized at the scene and did not affect substantial rights.
