Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
MARIO LADERILLERO FLORES,
also known as Mario Flores,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:04-CR-67-ALL
--------------------
Before REAVLEY, HIGGINBOTHAM and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Mario Laderillero Flores appeals from his jury conviction of
conspiring to distribute or possess with intent to distribute or
dispense methamphetamine. He argues that the evidence produced
at trial, which merely established that he was present at the
methamphetamine transaction, was insufficient to support the
jury’s verdict.
Flores did not move for a judgment of acquittal in the
district court. Accordingly, this court reviews his argument
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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. 05-40304

only to determine if his conviction constitutes a manifest
miscarriage of justice. United States v. Griffin, 324 F.3d 330,
356 (5th Cir. 2003). When viewed in the light most favorable to
the jury’s verdict, the evidence produced at trial established
all of the elements of the charged conspiracy beyond a reasonable
doubt. See id.; United States v. Chavez, 119 F.3d 342, 347 (5th
Cir. 1997). Therefore, Flores’s conviction did not result in a
manifest miscarriage of justice. See Griffin, 324 F.3d at 356.
The district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
