                   Appeals from the United States District Court
                       for the Southern District of Florida
                         _________________________

                                  (April 27, 2009)

Before BIRCH, DUBINA and WILSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Luis Pereira, Sr. appeals his drug convictions, sentence, and the district

court’s reconstruction of the record from December 16, 2005. The trial transcript
from that day (the day that Pereira presented his case-in-chief), is missing. Pereira

argues that the district court’s reconstruction is insufficient to afford meaningful

appellate review. He also challenges some of the district court’s evidentiary

rulings, its modification of the pattern jury instructions, and the reasonableness of

his sentence.

      After reviewing the record, reading the parties’ briefs, and having the benefit

of oral argument, we find no reversible error. Therefore, we affirm Pereira’s

convictions and sentence.

      AFFIRMED.

                                           2
