Appeal from the United States District Court

October 17, 1997
Before JONES, SMITH and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Guadalupe Solis appeals his conviction for possession with the intent to distribute marijuana.
He argues that the prosecutor’s questioning of him during cross-examination was improper inasmuch
as it tended to show his propensity to commit offenses similar to the charged offense. We have
reviewed the record, including the briefs and the trial transcript, and find that the introduction of the
single isolated question was not error. Further, in light of the overwhelming evidence of guilt
*
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and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.
presented against Solis at trial, there is not a significant possibility that the question had a substantial
impact on the jury’s verdict. See United States v. Williams, 957 F.2d 1238, 1244 (5th Cir. 1992).
AFFIRMED.
