UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT
No. 93-1069
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Appellee,
v.
WENDELL ARCHIBOLD BUSCH a/k/a "ARCHI,"
Defendant, Appellant.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO
[Hon. Gilberto Gierbolini, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Selya, Circuit Judge,
Aldrich and Coffin, Senior Circuit Judges.
Joseph C. Laws, Jr. on brief for appellant.
Charles E. Fitzwilliam, United States Attorney and Jorge E.
Vega-Pacheco, Assistant United States Attorney, on brief for
appellee.
September 14, 1993
Per Curiam. Having carefully reviewed the record of
Per Curiam
appellant's trial, we are fully satisfied that, taking the facts
in the light most congenial to the government, as we must on this
appeal, see, e.g., United States v. Maraj, 947 F.2d 520, 522-23
(1st Cir. 1991), the judge and jury could supportably, indeed,
comfortably, have found federal jurisdiction, guilt, and an
absence of cognizable duress. Moreover, contrary to appellant's
importuning, the acquittal of various codefendants does not
require a like result in his case. See, e.g., United States v.
Bucuvalas, 909 F.2d 593, 594-96 (1990).
We have examined appellant's remaining contentions and
find them meritless.
Affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
