U.S. v. DE LA ROSA

No. 97-41346.

171 F.3d 215 (1999)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Rene DE LA ROSA, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

March 24, 1999.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jeffery Alan Babcock, Paula Camille Offenhauser, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Reynaldo Santos Cantu, Jr., Brownsville, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before REYNALDO G. GARZA, POLITZ and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

POLITZ, Circuit Judge:

This appeal poses the question whether a trial court abused its discretion by refusing to admit evidence or advise the jury of a defendant's prior acquittal on a related charge. Additionally, we are asked to determine whether sufficient evidence supported the conviction. We conclude that neither of the challenged rulings constitutes an abuse of discretion and that the conviction is adequately supported by the evidence.
