United States v. Pena-Torres
Opinion of the Court
Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Juan Antonio Pena-Torres appeals his conviction for distribution of cocaine. He moved for a new trial, alleging that the Government engaged in prosecutorial misconduct and that evidence relating to counts dismissed mid-trial prejudiced • his right to a fair trial on the remaining count. We have reviewed the parties’ briefs and the record on appeal and find no reversible error in the denial of Pena-Torres’ motion for a new trial. Accordingly, we affirm the denial of relief for the reasons stated by the district court, see United States v. Pena-Torres, No. 1:14-cr-00310-JCC, 2014 WL 7272876 (E.D.Va. Dec. 18, 2014), and affirm the conviction.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED.
Pena-Torres does not challenge the sentence imposed by the district court
