U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, 1971

United States v. Raymond Padilla

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided July 16, 1971 · Chambers, Hufstedler, Per Curiam, Taylor

443 F.2d 1371; 1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 8883 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The judgment of conviction in this case of conspiracy to smuggle certain narcotics into the United States is affirmed.

We find only a little, if any, direct evidence of Padilla’s participation in a conspiracy but there was sufficient circumstantial evidence for the case to go to the jury.

Other assignments we find insubstantial.
