United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

August 3, 1987.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Glen J. Koch, Koch and Palomino, Rene Palomino, Jr., Miami, Fla., for defendant-appellant.

Leon B. Kellner, U.S. Atty., David Leiwant, Linda Collins Hertz, William Xanttopoulos, Asst. U.S. Attys., Miami, Fla., for plaintiff-appellee.

Before HILL, KRAVITCH and HATCHETT, Circuit Judges.


HILL, Circuit Judge:

After a lengthy trial involving five defendants, appellant Gerardo Guevara was convicted on seven drug-related counts and sentenced to 30 years imprisonment and a $25,000 fine. He now argues that the district court erred in replacing a disabled juror with an alternate juror shortly after the jury had commenced its deliberations. Finding that this question is controlled by two previous decisions of this court, we affirm.
