* Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.

No. 95-11064 - 2 - to distribute methamphetamine in excess of 100 grams; possession with intent to distribute in excess of 500 grams of cocaine; and using a person under 18 years of age to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine. He argues that the district court abused its discretion when it admitted Government Exhibit 28 into evidence. We have reviewed the record and briefs of the parties and hold that the admission of the document, even if it was inadmissible, was harmless error because it was cumulative of other testimony. See United States v. Allie, 978 F.2d 1401, 1408-09 (5th Cir. 1992), cert. denied, 113 S. Ct. 1662 (1993).

AFFIRMED.
