United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit.

Decided February 17, 2009.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Cheryl D. Stein argued the cause and filed the brief for appellant.

Joseph P. Cooney, Assistant U.S. Attorney, argued the cause for appellee. With him on the brief were Jeffrey A. Taylor, U.S. Attorney, and Roy W. McLeese III and Elizabeth Trosman, Assistant U.S. Attorneys.

Opinion concurring in the judgment filed by Circuit Judge ROGERS.


GRIFFITH, Circuit Judge:

A jury convicted Linwood Ashton of unlawful possession of phencyclidine (PCP) with intent to distribute within 1000 feet of a school. Ashton appeals his conviction, arguing that two rulings of the district court improperly limited his ability to challenge the testimony of the arresting officer on which the government's case was built. Finding no error, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
