Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
- 972 F.2d 355 (8th Cir. 1992)
Submitted: August 4, 1992. Filed: August 10, 1992
Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Richard Earl Hopkins appeals his convictions on drug-related charges. Hopkins contends the district court failed properly to instruct the jury on one of the charges and, in so doing, constructively amended the indictment. Hopkins also contends the evidence is insufficient to support the jury's verdicts. We have carefully considered Hopkins's contentions and find them to be without merit. Hopkins's convictions are affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
