ORDER*

3
Having heard the oral arguments of counsel for the appellants and the government, and having considered the briefs filed by the parties, we conclude that the district court did not err in its pre-trial rulings regarding suppression of evidence and election of counts.

4
The court also properly admitted evidence at trial regarding prior acts under Federal Rule of Evidence 404(b), and properly denied motions for mistrial.

5
Furthermore, the district court correctly found appellant Pettis to be a manager or supervisor, and offered sufficient reasons for selecting his particular sentence from the Guideline range.

6
Consequently, we affirm the convictions and sentences of all appellants.

7
AFFIRMED.

 This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Circuit R. 36-3
