Summary Calendar
UNITES STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
LUIS PALOMO,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. M-99-CR-392-2
--------------------
March 21, 2001
Before DAVIS, JONES, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Luis Palomo appeals his conviction for carjacking, 18 U.S.C.
§ 2119. He contends that the evidence was insufficient to
support his conviction because no evidence was introduced which
supports a finding that he had the specific intent or conditional
intent to inflict death or serious bodily harm. See 18 U.S.C.
§ 2119.
This court’s review of the sufficiency of the evidence
following a conviction is narrow. See, e.g., United States v.
Westbrook, 119 F.3d 1176, 1189 (5th Cir. 1997). We will affirm
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
No. 00-40706
-2-
if a rational trier of fact could have found that the evidence
established the essential elements of the offense beyond a
reasonable doubt. Id. (citing Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307,
319 (1979)). We conclude that a rational trier of fact could
have found that the evidence established the essential elements
of the offense of carjacking beyond a reasonable doubt. See
Holloway v. United States, 526 U.S. 1, 11-12 (1999).
AFFIRMED.
