United States v. Esteban Martinez

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Esteban Martinez, 632 F. App'x 359 (9th Cir. 2016)

United States v. Esteban Martinez

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Esteban Martinez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 50-month sentence imposed following his jury-trial conviction for possession with intent to distribute heroin, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(C). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Martinez contends the district court improperly admitted evidence that he had $1,085.00 on him when he was arrested, resulting in a violation of his due process rights. The record reflects that Martinez stipulated to possessing $1,085.00 at the time of his arrest. Accordingly, Martinez has waived his right to appeal the district court’s evidentiary ruling. See Yeti by Molly, Ltd. v. Deckers Outdoor Corp., 259 F.3d 1101, 1108 (9th Cir. 2001) (“A stipulation ... is tantamount to a waiver of an issue for appeal.”) (internal quotations omitted).

AFFIRMED.
