  • rejecting argument that evidence was insufficient to permit district court to conclude form of cocaine involved was crack; forensic chemist testified substance was cocaine base and conclusion was not contradicted by other evidence
  • no error in sentencing pursuant to enhanced statute for cocaine base where uncontradicted trial testimony established substance was cocaine base
