UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
NELSON JAVIER NEVAREZ,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
(4:95-CR-152-Y)
October 2, 1997
Before SMITH, WIENER, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Nelson Javier Nevarez appeals his conviction and sentence for
possession with intent to distribute more than one kilogram of
heroin, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(A). He
contends that the district court erred (1) in admitting evidence of
extraneous offenses; (2) in admitting the testimony of Fort Worth
Police Supervisor H.G. Tebay; (3) in increasing his offense level
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 5TH CIR. R.
47.5.4.
for obstruction of justice; and (4) in finding that he was
accountable for 2,761 grams of heroin seized in a prior incident.
We find no error, plain or otherwise. United States v. Olano,
507 U.S. 725, 731-37 (1993). The district court did not err in
admitting evidence of extraneous offenses, see United States v.
Beechum, 582 F.2d 898, 911 (5th Cir. 1978) (en banc), cert. denied,
440 U.S. 290 (1979); in admitting Tebay’s testimony, United States
v. Moore, 997 F.2d 55, 57 (5th Cir. 1993); or in its obstruction of
justice and drug quantity rulings in sentencing Nevarez, United
States v. Montano-Silva, 15 F.3d 52, 53 (5th Cir. 1994); United
States v. Stewart, 879 F.2d 1268, 1272 (5th Cir.), cert. denied,
493 U.S. 899 (1989).
AFFIRMED
