Before ARNOLD, HANSEN, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                        ________________

PER CURIAM.

       A jury convicted Lorenzo Montejano-Quintanar of one count of conspiracy to
distribute methamphetamine and marijuana and two counts each of distribution of
methamphetamine and marijuana, including the distribution of more than 50 grams
of methamphetamine. The district court1 sentenced him to the statutory mandatory

for the Southern District of Iowa.
minimum of 20 years’ imprisonment based on the jury’s drug-quantity finding and
his prior felony conviction. See 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(A). Montejano-Quintanar
appeals his conviction and sentence, raising a host of arguments. We have carefully
reviewed the record and find Montejano-Quintanar’s claims of error to be wholly
without merit. Therefore, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.
