Mike R. Parga v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided April 7, 1969 · Browning, Duniway, Carter
404 F.2d 878 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Mike R. Parga v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the government, we think it was sufficient to establish that appellant had personal knowledge that the marihuana was illegally imported; and, in any event, we think the evidence was sufficient to establish that appellant had constructive possession of the marihuana, thus bringing into play the presumption of 21 U.S.C. § 176a. The conviction is therefore affirmed.
