United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Decided July 9, 1991.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Phillip J. Wetzel, Perrizo and Wetzel, Thomas Milby Smith and Vance W. Petersen, Spokane, Wash., for defendants-appellants.

Stephanie J. Johnson, Asst. U.S. Atty., Spokane, Wash., for plaintiff-appellee.

Before HUG, D.W. NELSON and BRUNETTI, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Appellants Gabriel Hernandez, Gustavo Torres and Jose Landa appeal their conviction for trafficking in cocaine. They claim that because a fourth codefendant acted as a government informant throughout the planning stages of a joint defense, the United States invaded their attorney-client relationship and thus violated their Sixth Amendment rights. In addition, they appeal the denial of a motion to suppress evidence seized from a car. We affirm.
