IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit FILED June 27, 2008 No. 07-50419 Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Plaintiff-Appellee v. HECTOR VENANCIO CASTRO-VASQUEZ Defendant-Appellant Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. 3:06-cr-00847 Before SMITH, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Following a jury trial, Hector Castro-Vasquez was found guilty of fraudulently obtaining immigration benefits to which he was not entitled in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1425(b). On appeal, Castro challenges the sufficiency of the grand jury indictment, the sufficiency of the evidence presented at trial, and two of the district court’s evidentiary rulings against him. Having reviewed the briefs and pertinent portions of the record and having heard the arguments of counsel, we find no reversible error. Accordingly, the conviction is AFFIRMED. * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
