Albert Arciniaga v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided August 22, 1969 · Chambers, Duniway, Der Heydt
409 F.2d 513 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Albert Arciniaga v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.

This was a border crossing case with a rubber contraption containing narcotics which defendant had swallowed, lodging in the stomach. The package was retrieved by causing an emetic to be given to Arciniaga.

We have had a number of alimentary canal cases involving narcotics. Some of them are:

Blackford v. United States, 9 Cir., 247 F.2d 745, cert. denied 356 U.S. 914, 78 S.Ct. 672, 2 L.Ed.2d 586.
Blefare v. United States, 9 Cir., 362 F.2d 870.
Rivas v. United States, 9 Cir., 368 F.2d 703.
Henderson v. United States, 9 Cir., 390 F.2d 805.
Huguez v. United States, 9 Cir., 406 F.2d 366, decided Sept. 30, 1968.
We find this one closest to Rivas.

Other points asserted we find without merit.
