Heading: Sale of Marihuana by Ignacio to Salinas

Text: 79 Ignacio contends that testimony by Salinas concerning the sale and use of marihuana by Ignacio was inadmissible extraneous offense evidence. Salinas testified that he and Ignacio got high together and that Ignacio sold him dope. Salinas, however, was unsure as to whether these events occurred during or prior to the alleged conspiracy. 80 Regardless of when these events transpired, the evidence was admissible to show Salinas' relationship to the Britos. The sales and use of marihuana were thus intertwined with the charged conspiracy and were not inadmissible extrinsic evidence. See United States v. Royal, 972 F.2d 643, 647 (5th Cir.1992) (holding that evidence of prior drug transactions and convictions was admissible to show relationship between co-conspirators). The court's admission of this testimony was not error.
