Nelson Sandoval Hernandez (Hernandez) appeals his conviction for conspiring to possess over five kilograms of cocaine with the intent to distribute, while Adriana Teresa Sanchez Gutierrez (Gutierrez) appeals her convictions for the same drug conspiracy and for conspiring to launder monetary instruments with the proceeds of the drug conspiracy. Gutierrez contends that the evidence was insufficient to support either of her convictions. After re *283 viewing the record and the arguments of counsel, we hold that a rational trier of fact could have found that the evidence established the essential elements of the offenses beyond a reasonable doubt.

Gutierrez and Hernandez also contend that the district court erred in denying their challenge to the jury panel, which was made pursuant to Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 106 S.Ct. 1712, 90 L.Ed.2d 69 (1986). Their conclusional assertion that the Government’s proffered race-neutral reasons for striking minority jurors were pretextual is insufficient to overcome the deference given to the district court’s decision to accept those explanations. See United States v. De La Rosa, 911 F.2d 985, 991 (5th Cir. 1990). The judgments of conviction are AFFIRMED.
