No. 98-3012EA.

236 F.3d 982 (2001)

UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. Gary Jerome RILEY, Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Filed: January 18, 2001.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Christoper Tarver, argued, Little Rock, Ar, for Appellant.

Lesa Bridges, Ast. U.S. Atty., argued, Little Rock, AR (Paula J. Casey, U.S. Atty., on the brief), for Appellee.

BEFORE: McMILLIAN, RICHARD S. ARNOLD, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.

RICHARD S. ARNOLD, Circuit Judge.

Gary Jerome Riley appeals his conviction and sentencing on two counts of possessing cocaine base with the intent to distribute. He argues that the District Court erred in admitting crime-lab reports without proper authentication, in failing to appoint substitute counsel at sentencing, and in sentencing him as a career offender. We agree that the admission into evidence of the crime-lab reports was prejudicial error.
