James Christopher Kopp petitions for review of the District Court’s2 finding that

should have been sentenced accordingly. He does not contest his guilty plea to
conspiracy and possession of a controlled substance.
The District Court discredited Kopp’s testimony and found there was sufficient
evidence to sentence him under the methamphetamine guidelines. This appeal is
controlled by the decision United States v. Hyatt, 156 F.3d 813 (8th Cir. 2000). In that
decision, Kopp’s co-conspirator had his conviction and sentence under the
methamphetamine guidelines upheld. The Hyatt decision is precisely on point with this
appeal, consequently, we reach the same decision.
Accordingly, we affirm.
