Decided September 10, 1990.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Edmundo Espinoza, San Diego, Cal., for defendant-appellant.

Larry A. Burns, Asst. U.S. Atty., San Diego, Cal., for plaintiff-appellee.

Before PREGERSON, WIGGINS and BRUNETTI, Circuit Judges.


WIGGINS, Circuit Judge:

A jury convicted Juana Espericueta De Gross of two counts of aiding and abetting the transportation of an alien within the United States. De Gross appeals her conviction, contending that the district court erred in: (1) denying her peremptory challenge of a male venireperson; and (2) accepting the government's peremptory challenge of the only Hispanic venireperson. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1988). We reverse.
