Flores-Ortega, 528 U.S. 470 (2000). 2. Whether the causation requirement for the application of the statutory sentence enhancement under 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(©) is not satisfied when the toxicology evidence shows that the cause of injury or death was lethal levels of two drugs, only one of which was connected with the defendant. ii
