United States v. Ceballos, No. 13-50786 (5th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of transporting, attempting to transport, and engaging in a conspiracy to transport an alien within the United States for private financial gain. Defendant appealed her conviction, raising three claims. The court concluded that defendant waived her Sixth Amendment confrontation objection to the admission of a government witness's testimony and cannot argue that this amounted to error; the district court did not plainly err in admitting a notebook in defendant's purse as it was authenticated and did not constitute inadmissible evidence of prior bad acts; and the court rejected defendant's claim of cumulative error. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
