MEMORANDUM **

Defendant, Sergio Lozano Sanchez, appeals his conviction for illegal possession of *469 a listed chemical with intent to manufacture methamphetamine in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841 (d)(2), 802(33) and (34)(k). Sanchez argues that the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence seized during a search that he contends exceeded the scope of his consent. He also argues that the district court abused its discretion by permitting the introduction of evidence, pursuant to Rule 404(b) of the Federal Rules of Evidence, concerning his prior arrest for possession of pseudoephedrine tablets with intent to manufacture methamphetamine. Finally, Sanchez argues that the district court abused its discretion by admitting a lab report analyzing the contents of tablets seized from him at the time of his arrest.
