After consenting to a jury trial before a magistrate judge, Johnnie Ray Carpenter was convicted for obstructing a deputy United States marshal, and other duly authorized persons, in serving or attempting to serve and execute a legal and judicial writ and process of a court of the United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1501. He appealed to the district court, which affirmed. United States v. Carpenter, No. 09-CR-00271, 2012 WL 292480 (W.D.La. 31 Jan. 2012).

At the time of the offense, Carpenter was police chief of Winnfield, Louisiana. He presents three claims: (1) the evidence was not sufficient to support his conviction for knowingly and willfully obstructing a federal officer in executing an arrest warrant; (2) Carpenter’s actions in his official capacity as police chief were justified; and (3) the district court erred in allowing testimonial evidence of Carpenter’s criminal history. Essentially for the reasons stated in the district court’s well-reasoned and comprehensive opinion, the judgment is

AFFIRMED.
