IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 97-40257
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
HONORIO JAIME PINA and
MARIA FLORA GAYTAN-CARRANZA,
a/k/a Flora Gaytan, a/k/a
Flora G. Carranza,
Defendants-Appellants.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
(96-CR-96-1)
December 8, 1997
Before WIENER, EMILIO M. GARZA, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Defendants-Appellants Honorio Jaime Pina and Maria Flora
Gaytan-Carranza appeal their convictions for drug-trafficking
offenses. Pina argues that the district court erred in failing to
exclude evidence obtained pursuant to a purportedly invalid search

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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
warrant; Gaytan argues that the district court erred in denying her
motion for a new trial, which was predicated on an allegation of
prosecutorial misconduct in concealing or, in the alternative,
failing to produce, an exculpatory informant-witness.
We have carefully reviewed the record in this case, the
rulings of the district court, and the pertinent facts as revealed
by the record and the briefs of able counsel, as well as the legal
arguments of counsel set forth in their briefs and in oral argument
by those who participated. As a result, we are convinced that the
district court committed no reversible error in failing to suppress
the evidence adduced against Pina or in refusing to grant Gaytan a
new trial. Consequently, the convictions of Defendants-Appellants
resulting from their jury trial are, in all respects,
AFFIRMED.
