U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided June 17, 1968 · Tuttle, Goldberg, Hooper
393 F.2d 139 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Homero Sanchez Pineda v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

This appeal from a conviction for narcotic violations under Title 21, United States Code, Sections 173 and 174, raises the sole question whether the appellant was within the territorial limits of the United States when he had not left the custody of the customs officials. The contention is novel, but we conclude without merit. See United States v. Morello, 2 Cir., 250 F.2d 631 and Palmero v. United States, 1 Cir., 112 F.2d 922.

Affirmed.
