Defendants’ drug convictions and sentences are affirmed where: 1) the government’s application to wiretap defendants’ calls satisfied the necessity requirement; 2) the district court did not err in finding that the government had not intercepted telephone calls on a line for which there was no court order; 3) the government was not required to seal call data content and it timely sealed the wiretap recordings; and 4) the government did not violate the statutory wiretap monitoring requirements of 18 U.S.C. section 2518(5).
