Description
ANDERSON, Circuit Judge. James Wynne appeals his conviction, following a jury trial, for possession with intent to distribute more than 100 grams of methamphetamine in violation of 21U.S.C. 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A)(viii). Agent Samuel Candelaria, a detective in the Albuquerque Police Department under assignment to the federal Drug Enforcement Administration Task Force, discovered the methamphetamine during a regular forty-five minute stop of an Amtrak passenger train at the Albuquerque train station. Mr. Wynne was a passenger on the train, and Agent Candelaria was conducting a routine monitoring of the train during its stop. On appeal, Mr. Wynne contends that: (1) the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress statements he made prior to his arrest; (2) he was denied effective assistance of counsel; (3) the government failed to disclose the identity of an alleged informant prior to trial, resulting in a denial of due process; (4) the district court abused its discretion by denying Mr. Wynne's two motions to continue the trial date; and (5) the foregoing, taken together, amounted to cumulative error resulting in a denial of due process, or, in the alternative, his trial was fundamentally unfair. We affirm.
