United States v. Rachel Robles
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided July 20, 1971 · Chambers, Ely, Per Curiam, Taylor
443 F.2d 1368; 1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 8844 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States v. Rachel Robles

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The unlawful smuggling activities in which the appellant was found to have conspired are reviewed in United States v. Estrada, 441 F.2d 873 (9th Cir. 1971).

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the Government, as we are required to do, we cannot say that it was insufficient to support the determination of guilt made by the district judge.

We are not persuaded, in the circumstances of this case, that there was such inordinate delay between the time of the commission of the offense and the times of arrest and trial as to have required the District Court to dismiss the indictment. Cf. United States v. Walton, 411 F.2d 283 (9th Cir. 1969); Benson v. United States, 402 F.2d 576 (9th Cir. 1968); Woody v. United States, 125 U.S.App.D.C. 192, 370 F.2d 214 (1966).

Affirmed.
