Conviction for drug crimes is affirmed where: 1) defendant waived his right to challenge the district court’s actions with respect to a juror question concerning juror’s experience with drug users; 2) defendant’s Batson challenge is rejected as the government provided race neutral reasons for its strikes; and 3) the evidence was sufficient to support defendant’s conviction.
