UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
ANDRE LEFELL REESE,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 6:97-CR-65-ALL
December 10, 1998
Before KING, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Andre Lefell Reese contends that he is entitled to a new trial
on the ground that the Government presented testimony obtained in
violation of 18 U.S.C. § 201(c)(2), which prohibits an offer or
promise of “anything of value” in exchange for a witness’
testimony. Reese contends that the Government violated § 201(c)(2)
by agreeing not to prosecute a witness for unrelated charges and by
compensating her for relocation expenses in exchange for her
testimony against Reese. See United States v. Singleton, 144 F.3d
1343, 1358-61 (10th Cir. 1998), vacated and reh’g en banc granted,
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
144 F.3d 1361-66 (July 10, 1998). Because Reese did not move the
district court to suppress the testimony at issue on the ground
that it was obtained in violation of § 201(c)(2), he has waived
this argument for purposes of appeal. See United States v. Chavez-
Valencia, 116 F.3d 127, 128-33 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 118 S. Ct.
325 (1997); FED. R. CRIM. P. 12(b)(3).
AFFIRMED
