José E. GARCIA, Appellant v. UNITED STATES, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided April 27, 2006.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Josselin Saint-Preux, appointed by the court, was on the brief for appellant.

Roscoe C. Howard, Jr., United States Attorney at the time the brief was filed, John R. Fisher, Assistant United States Attorney at the time the brief was filed, and Elizabeth Trosman and Robert J. Feitel, Assistant United States Attorneys, were on the brief for appellee.

Before FARRELL, Associate Judge, and PRYOR and TERRY, Senior Judges.

We find both arguments without merit; hence we affirm both convictions.
