Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

ROGER GOLDENBERG; SUSAN RICHEA SALINAS,

Defendants-Appellants. _________________________________________________________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, McAllen USDC No. M-98-CR-264-1 _________________________________________________________________ March 8, 2001

Before FARRIS,* JOLLY, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:**

Roger Goldenberg appeals his convictions for conspiracy to

possess with intent to distribute cocaine and possession with

intent to distribute cocaine, and Susan Salinas appeals her

conviction for possession with intent to distribute cocaine. The

only question in this case is the sufficiency of the evidence

against the two appellants. The evidence is overwhelming with

* Circuit Judge of the Ninth Circuit, sitting by designation. ** Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. regard to Goldenberg. Although the evidence is perhaps less

compelling with respect to Salinas, the evidence was nevertheless

sufficient for a reasonable jury to conclude that she engaged in

conduct that aided and abetted the criminal venture in this case.

Therefore, the convictions of both appellants are

A F F I R M E D.
