United States v. Andres Collado-Rojas

Opinion

MEMORANDUM ***

Appellant Andres Collado-Rojas (Colla-do-Rojas) challenges his convictions for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. Collado-Roj as maintains that there was insufficient evidence to support his convictions because he was misidentified as his brother.

Given the numerous in-court identifications of Collado-Rojas as involved in the methamphetamine conspiracy, there was sufficient evidence supporting Collado-Ro-jas’s convictions and, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, “any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt,” including Collado-Roj as’s identity. United States v. Del Toro-Barboza, 673 F.3d 1136, 1143 (9th Cir. 2012) (citation omitted) (emphasis in the original).

AFFIRMED.
