   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Loken and Colloton, Circuit Judges]

   defendant's conviction for conspiracy to distribute five or more kilograms 
   of cocaine; defendant failed to meet his burden of establishing he had 
   withdrawn from the conspiracy and he was liable for his co-conspirator's 
   reasonably foreseeable act of having another participant deliver 7.2 kilos 
   of the drug; Confrontation Clause challenges to admission of certain 
   exhibits were properly denied.
