PER CURIAM.

Appellant was convicted by a jury of conspiracy to smuggle and transport, and with smuggling of marihuana into the United States, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 176a.

We have examined the record and hold: (1) that evidence of similar offenses on the part of appellant was relevant and its probative value outweighed any incidental prejudice, and, therefore, was admissible. DeCarlo v. United States, 422 F.2d 237
