Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
- 986 F.2d 503 (8th Cir. 1993)
Submitted: January 12, 1993. Filed: January 20, 1993
Before LOKEN and HANSEN Circuit Judges, and MURPHY,* District Judge.
PER CURIAM.
Ronald Calvin Scott was convicted on two counts of distribution of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a) (1). Scott appeals on the ground that the district court1 erred when it permitted the government to ask leading questions of a hostile witness on direct examination. Having reviewed the parties' briefs and the transcript, we hold that the district court did not abuse its discretion. We affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
