IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-51101
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
DENVER MONTGOMERY JACKSON,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
(W-01-CR-111-2)
--------------------
Before WIENER, CLEMENT, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Defendant-Appellant Denver Montgomery Jackson appeals his
conviction on charges of conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine,
conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, and possession of a
firearm in furtherance of the drug trafficking offense. On appeal,
Jackson argues that the district court improperly denied his motion
to suppress, wrongly admitted opinion testimony of a law
enforcement official, improvidently denied his motion for judgment

of acquittal on the firearms charge, and wrongfully admitted the
testimony of several co-conspirators.
We have carefully reviewed the record on appeal and considered
the factual and legal arguments advanced by counsel in their
appellate briefs and in their argument before this panel. As a
result, we are convinced that the district court committed no
reversible error in denying Jackson’s suppression motion, and that
the conduct of Jackson’s jury trial was free of error with the
possible exception of the admission of the testimony of
investigator Harlan, which, if erroneous, was nevertheless
harmless. Jackson’s conviction and sentence are, in all respects,
AFFIRMED.
