211729P.pdf   05/12/2022  United States  v.  Emanuel Cowley, Jr.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-1729
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Eastern   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Colloton and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Evidence was sufficient to support 
   defendant's convictions for possession of a controlled substance with 
   intent to distribute, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and 
   possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking; admission of 
   testimony from an expert witness on whether the drug in question was 
   possessed with intent to distribute was plain error under Rule 704(b), but 
   the error did not affect defendant's substantial rights in light of the 
   ample evidence from which the jury could conclude an intent to distribute.
