Text: 1 Defendant James Roberts appeals his conviction for conspiring to manufacture and possess marijuana with intent to distribute in violation of 21 U.S.C. Secs. 812, 846 (1982) (Count I), growing marijuana in violation of 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(B) (1982) and 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2 (1982) (Count II), and possessing marijuana with the intent to distribute in violation of 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(B) and 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2 (Count III). At a bench trial, the parties stipulated that the evidence would consist of the transcript of an earlier suppression hearing and the testimony of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Agent Yarborough had he been called to testify. The district court found Roberts guilty on all three counts. 1 On Count I, the court sentenced him to one year imprisonment with credit for time served. On Counts II and III, the court suspended imposition of the sentence and placed Roberts on probation for five years on each count, the five-year probationary periods to run concurrent with each other and consecutive to the sentence imposed in Count I. We affirm.
