sale of the marijuana) and that Cattalo received $750 as a result
of the Wolff search. Hund testified that he received $1,700 for
the cocaine which he split with Grove, one payment for the
marijuana of $4,000 which he split with Grove, and then a second
payment of $3,000 which he split four ways with Grove, Ryan, and
Cattalo. Ryan testified that he received $200 from Cattalo that

proceeds of the sale of the drugs. With respect to this search,
Cattalo and Grove were convicted on charges of robbery and
possession of cocaine and marijuana with intent to distribute.
We sustain respondent's assertions as to the amounts of income
Cattalo and Grove received from the proceeds of the drugs
appropriated during the Wolff search.
