US v. Johnson, No. 08-3054

Conviction and sentence for drug crimes is affirmed where 1) defendant's sentence is reasonable and the district court adequately explained its reasons for imposing it; and 2) district court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's request for independent testing of the drug as he failed to avail himself of the opportunities to make a timely request.
