Text: 17 Onwujekwe joined Monyei's challenge to the nine ounce computation of heroin. The above analysis is equally applicable to Onwujekwe's appeal, and this challenge is likewise rejected. 18 Onwujekwe makes an additional argument, claiming that he was not present in Detroit when Montgomery obtained the nine ounces of heroin. Rebutting this contention, Special Agent Johnson testified that Onwujekwe made representations at the negotiation meeting of November 14, 1990, that he was present in Detroit when the distribution took place on November 9, 1990. Other evidence seemingly corroborated the presence of Onwujekwe in Detroit on or before November 9, 1991. For example, a piece of paper containing the telephone number of Montgomery's girlfriend who lives in Detroit was seized from Onwujekwe's belongings upon his arrest. Montgomery indicated to the authorities that he had furnished this number to Monyei and Onwujekwe on November 8, 1991, and they had contacted Montgomery at the girlfriend's house to arrange the November 9, 1991, transfer of the heroin. 19 Onwujekwe received a sentence of 78 months. This was in conformity with the Rule 11 plea agreement. Accordingly, we reject Onwujekwe's challenges to the sentence imposed by the district court.
