United States v. Rodriguez, No. 15-10579 (5th Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseDefendants Rodriguez and Longoria were convicted of charges related to their operation of a marijuana importation and distribution scheme in Abilene, Texas. The court concluded that the evidence was sufficient for a reasonable jury to find the essential elements of a conspiracy and the quantities involved beyond a reasonable doubt for each defendant; the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Rodriguez's motion to sever where Rodriguez only asserted a generalized allegation that does not merit relief; and there was no error in the jury instruction. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
