United States v. Mohammad

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT ________________________ No. 96-50622 _________________________ UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. ADNAN FAWWAZ MOHAMMAD; NASSER HALIM, also known as Alex Halim, Defendants-Appellants. ____________________________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court For the Western District of Texas (EP-95-CR-541-2) _____________________________________________ June 10, 1997 Before WIENER and PARKER, Circuit Judges, and LITTLE, District Judge.* PER CURIAM:** In this direct criminal appeal, Defendants-Appellants Adnan Fawwaz Mohammad and Nasser Halim, also known as Alex Halim, seek reversal of their jury trial convictions and their sentences, insisting that the evidence is insufficient to support convictions * District Judge of the Western District of Louisiana, sitting by designation. ** Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4. on the conspiracy and predicate violations with which they are charged, asserting reversible error in evidentiary rulings of the district court, and complaining of the propriety of the sentences imposed. We have carefully considered the record on appeal and the facts and legal arguments advanced by able counsel in their respective briefs and oral presentations to this court. Our review convinces us that the evidence is more than sufficient to support the convictions, that the trial court committed no reversible error in the conduct of the trial, and that the sentences imposed are lawful. The convictions of Defendants-Appellants and the sentences imposed as a result of those convictions are, therefore, AFFIRMED. 2
